Last Time Out
Princeton most recently competed in the Nuttycombe Invitational where it placed 15th out of 33 teams, facing a loaded field of top-ranked opponents.
The Tiger's top finisher was Emma de Jong, who placed 53rd at 20:22.1, followed closely behind by Meg Madison in 60th at 20:25.5.
Madison earned herself the Ivy League Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week after climbing 32 places in the last 4K to be the second scoring runner for Princeton. Her performance was quite impressive as her first meet of the season, facing such heavy competition.
