Rochester, NY - After a successful run at the NCAC Preview last week, the Oberlin College cross country teams took their talents to New York for the Rochester Yellow Jacket Invitational on Saturday morning.

Taking on a mix of NCAA DI, DII, and DIII athletes, the Crimson and Gold finished in the middle of the pack on both sides of the race. In the women's 6k, Oberlin placed 11^th of 21 teams with 313 points, while the men's 8k runners tallied points to finish 9^th of 20 teams.

Kicking off the invitational, Eliza Medearis crushed the women's 6k, leading the Crimson and Gold with a time of 23:24.3. The senior runner finished 22^nd overall and well within the top-20 of DIII competitors.

First-year Sophie Mateja took second for Oberlin, with a time of 24:46. Amber Borofsky rounded out the top-100 finishers for Oberlin, completing the race in 25:11.5.

Less than a second later, Johnny Ragsdale finished in 40^th and earned a new personal best time of 26:41.1. Charlie Endres also completed the 8k race with a new personal best at 27:02.2, nearly a full minute faster than his previous record.
