Although they finished seventh out of 16 teams at the New York State Championships, placing in the top half was little consolation for the women's cross country team, which was disappointed with the outcome of the meet.

From what I've gathered, students have several specific complaints about the dining services on campus. Every student wants to see greater quality and selection in the food they receive.
