Newburgh, NY (Nov. 15, 2012) – Multiple reschedules as a result of the recent super storm forced several runners out of the lineup for Purchase College by the time the Skyline Conference Cross Country Championships hit the trails today in Newburgh, but despite those unfortunate breaks, all was not lost for the Panthers.

Purchase first-year head coach Declan Foley was named Skyline Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year Thursday at Chadwick Lake Park and one of his standouts, Jessica Hojohn (SO/Canajoharie, NY), took home All-Skyline 2nd Team honors. Foley did a remarkable in his first season, turning both teams into formidable contenders.    

Christine Cristobal won the individual title for the second consecutive year and Brian Wersan finished second overall, as St. Joseph's-LI captured the men's and women's team titles on Thursday afternoon.

Cristobal posted a winning time of 20:42.45 as the Golden Eagles seized their ninth women's title in program history. 

SJC (15 points) had the top six overall finishers, with junior Gillian Goodwin (20:53.20) earning runner-up distinction for the second straight year.

Foley garnered Women's Coach of the Year honors, while Mount Saint Mary received the Team Sportsmanship Award.       

Mount Saint Mary finished second overall with 54 points, followed by Sage (87), Farmingdale State (104), Yeshiva (126) and Old Westbury (180).

Purchase did not factor into the scoring on either the men's or women's side, with not enough runners taking part in the races.  

On the men's side, St. Joseph's-LI (28 points) captured its fourth crown in five years, as Wersan was joined in the top 10 by teammates Mike Lombardi (fourth – 28:45.60), Jon Afanador (sixth – 28:58.91), Evan Haun (seventh - 29:39.03) and Paul Milazzo (ninth – 29:54.20). Jim Crowley of St. Joseph's-LI was named the Men's Coach of the Year.  In addition, Yeshiva took home the men's Team Sportsmanship Award on the men's side. 

Maritime freshman Cameron Coneys was the men's individual champion with a time of 28:04.52 to lead the Privateers to a second-place finish. Yeshiva and Sage each finished with 93 points on the men's side, followed by Farmingdale State (119), Mount Saint Mary (132) and Old Westbury (222).
