Rochester, NY - The College of Staten Island Men's & Women's Cross-Country teams showcased what they can do at the 2021 East Coast Conference Cross-Country Champions hosted by Robert Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY. Although, the Dolphins did not qualify for official scoring, since this is CSI's last year of provisional status due to the move to Division II. Nonetheless, they were able to compete unofficially and in preparation to qualify for next season's championship. All Dolphin runners finished their races, some with new personal bests on one of many new XC courses the Dolphins have seen for the first time this season.
