 Boston University's men's and women's cross-country teams headed out to Fairview Park in Jamaica plain Friday morning for the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships. While the heavy rain held off for the women's race, the trail remained dangerously muddy from earlier showers. Before the races, U.S. roll the hosts of the meet had to clear the trail of wet leaves. However, the strong winds and rain blew them back onto the course, creating a slippery terrain. It's muddy after all. I had to move away from the corner because everybody was tall. During the men's race, the weather took a turn for the worse, as sheets of rain buffeted the runners and spectators. Both teams' five scorers finished in the top 100 racers. The BU women's team was led by graduate student Corrine Batsu, who placed 38 out of 250 finishers, while the men's team was led by sophomore Matt Mason, who placed 46 out of 235 finishers. Unfortunately, both the men's and women's teams placed 12th at the meet and won't be moving onto the NCAA cross-country championship November 20th. However, many runners will continue running here at the track center as part of the winter track teams. For BU TV 10, I'm Eleanor Dash.
