More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend. |

Four Ephs earn All-NESCAC Men's Cross Country Honors; Raduazo Rookie of the Year - November 06, 2008
Williams juniors Edgar Kosgey (Eldoret Rift Valley, Kenya) and Jeff Perlis (Bethesda, MD) captured First Team All-NESCAC Men's Cross Country honors, while senior Brendan Christian and first year Anthony Raduazo (Bolton, MA) collected Second Team honors at the recent NESCAC Championship race in Gloucester, Maine.
Kosgey earned First Team honors for the second year in a row with his second place finish in 25:42. Perlis secured a spot on the First Team with his fifth place finish (25:55).
Brendan Christian's (Chicago, IL) ninth place finish (26:12) secured his second year in a row on the Second Team, while Raduazo's 11th place finish (26:13) also landed him on the Second Team.
Raduazo secured the conference rookie of the Year Award when he finished one second ahead of Middlebury first year Michael Schmidt and finished in 11th place.
Placing three runners in the top nine and four in the top 11 and five in the top 17 on the Pineland Farms course the Ephs won their third consecutive NESCAC title and their conference-leading 11th title overall.
Currently Peter Farwell's Ephs are ranked eighth in the national Division III poll and first in New England.
Farwell will rest his top seven this weekend before bringing them back to compete on November 15th at the NCAA Regional qualifier to be hosted by the Ephs at Mt. Greylock Regional.

Williams senior Lauren Philbrook (Hopkinton, MA) finished in fifth place (22:30) at the recent NESCAC Women's Cross Country Championship race recently to earn All-NESCAC First Team honors along with first year Mary Brunelli (West Cornwall, CT).
Brunelli toured the Pineland Farms course in 22:33 and finished in seventh place. Sophomore Meghan Shea (Nesconset, NY) came in 13th (22:38)
Finishing just one second behind Brunelli in eighth place was junior Bret Scofield (Orinda, CA) who crossed the line in 22:34.
This quartet of Ephs helped to propel the purple into a tie for first place with Middlebury. Williams has now won seven outright NESCAC titles and has tied for the title in 2004 and 2008. Both ties were with Middlebury.
Nationally the Ephs are ranked second and they are first in the New England poll.
