Westfield, Mass.- Freshmen Christina Kane (Springfield, Mass.) and James Sullivan (Sterling, Mass.) each finished third and fourth in the women's and men's races, respectively, to lead the Trinity College Bantams to first place and third place in the James Early Invitational Cross Country Meet this afternoon at Westfield State College.

The Bantam women’s team finished first overall with 40 points, which was 68 points ahead of second-place Coast Guard. The Bantam men came in third with a score of 116 points, despite competing without its top two runners. Juniors Ryan Bak (Suffield, Conn.) and James Emord (Bridgewater, Mass.) ran in the New England Open Championships yesterday.

Kane led three Trinity runners who finished 3-4-5 just five seconds apart with a time of 18:57. Junior Leeann Rheaume (Pittsfield, Mass.) was fourth at 18:59 and sophomore Kristina DePeau (Stafford, Conn.) placed fifth at 10:02. All seven Bantam harriers finished in the top 21.

Sullivan stepped up for the Bantam men in the absence of Bak and Emord with a time of 26:34, while junior Steve Coakley (South Windsor, Conn.) finished sixth at 26:56 and classmate Ryan Lerner (Manchester, Conn.) was 10th at 27:30.
