MILTON, NY – Two weeks after both finishing second at the Skyline Conference Championships, the Maritime College men's and women's cross country teams returned to the Hudson Valley Sports Dome for the ECAC Championships. Led by three top 10 finishers, the Privateer women earned second place in the team standings. The Maritime men, meanwhile, took fourth as a team.

The second-place showing was Maritime's best ever ECAC Championships result.
