WINNECONE, Wis. – SUNY Geneseo senior Jacquie Huben finished an All-America 29th place out of 280 runners to lead the Knights to second place out of 32 teams at the 36th NCAA Division III Women's Cross Country Championships hosted by Wisconsin-Oshkosh at Lake Breeze Golf Club, Saturday. Today's result was the team's second-highest finish ever at the national championship race and best since winning the title 10 years ago in 2005.

Geneseo totaled 179 points to finish runner-up to Williams, who recorded 81 points to take the crown. MIT (182), Johns Hopkins (188) and Washington University (193) rounded out the top-five teams.

Huben completed the six-kilometer course in a time of 21:43.2 to become the 17th All-America in program history while junior Sara Rosenzweig crossed the finish line in 37th (21:47.4).

Junior Marissa Cossaro came in 63rd place (22:05.5) followed by first-year Elise Ramirez in 71st (22:08.2) and first-year Olivia Ryan in 74th (22:11.2) to round out the Knights' top-five runners.
