Yes, But

Yale’s two top-eight finishers stood out, but Princeton dominated the team race, winning by 61 points over the Bulldogs.

What’s Next

Yale races at the NCAA Northeast Regional on Nov. 13 at Bethpage State Park in Old Bethpage, New York. The Bulldogs placed fifth at the regional meet last year; NCAA Championship selections will be announced Nov. 14.

Bottom Line

Benun and Chadwick gave Yale a strong one-two finish, but the team will need a deeper result at regionals to contend for an NCAA Championship berth.
