October 21, 2006

AMHERST, MA –The Amherst College cross country program hosted the 2006 Little Three Championship this afternoon, with the women's side beating its archrivals, while the men's squad finished second to Williams College.

Junior Kim Partee (Brentwood, TN) paced the women’s squad, finishing second individually with a time of 18:46.7 to Ellen Davis of Williams. Elise Tropiano (Planeview, NY) finished fifth overall, followed by Heather Wilson (Danvers, MA) and Meg Ray (Menands, NY) in sixth and seventh. First year Sophia Gelleher (Denver, CO) rounded out Amherst’s top five women.
