Both the men’s and women’s cross country teams finished in second place at the 2016 Monmouth XC Kickoff Saturday.
Juniors Bryant Cordova and Christiana Rutkowski led the men’s and women’s teams, respectively. Cordova paced a Pirates team with five top 12 finishes in the 6K race.
The race was Rutokowski’s first since 2014, as she was forced to sit out 2015 due to injury. Her return was vital to the Hall’s second-place finish, as she led all Pirates with a time of 15:21.1, giving her an 11th place finish.
