The St. John’s cross country team headed over to Old Westbury for the first NYIT Invite this past weekend and came away with the top four individual placers. Sophomore Antonia Howard placed first overall at the meet with a 5K time of 19:26.56. The following three runners were all Johnnies: Melissa Hidalgo, Stephanie Gerland and Therese Gallagher.
“Our team was awesome today,” head coach Jim Hurt said to RedStormSports.com. “Having Melissa Hidalgo back with us gave our team a big boost and she was sensational as she cruised to a second-place finish.”
Hidalgo finished with a time of 20:30.
