(Canton, N.Y.)- SUNY Canton hosted the men’s and women’s cross country North Country Invitational on Wednesday and competed against four other area colleges.

Both races were a 5K and this was the first time the Roos have hosted the event.  Along with SUNY Canton, runners from St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, SUNY Potsdam, and Paul Smith’s College competed.  There were no team scores kept, just individual times and in the women’s race the Roos had two runners place in the top 25.
