SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Saint Anselm College men's cross country team wrapped up its season on Friday, completing day two at the 2021 Northeast-10 Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championship.

Saint Anselm, competing in men's outdoor track & field at the NE10 championship for the first time in team history, had several notable performances in the two-day event. The women's cross country team at Saint Anselm began its two-day championship experience on Friday and will wrap up on Saturday.

"Although we fell short of scoring in the meet, it was still an incredible opportunity for our men," said Head Coach Brian Stankiewicz '17. "We are able to see how far we've come this season and learn for the future. With almost everyone returning, I am glad we got some experience racing against some of the best competition in the country.

"Our performances were solid and bode well for the cross country season in the fall," concluded Stankiewicz.
