Schotte said that because the cross-countryseason ended recently, the team was notemphasizing distance events. She did not runbecause of an injury, but she said she hopes to beback for the January meets.

"It was not a big meet in terms of major goals,because it wasn't an Ivy meet," Schotte said."Still, it's fantastic and encouraging."
