Edinboro, Pa. - After finishing 17th in last season's Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships, the Millersville University women's cross country team improved to a tie for 13th place in this season's installment on Saturday morning at Edinboro in muddy running conditions. Indiana (Pa.) was the other team that finished 13th.

MEET HIGHLIGHTS
• For the third time this season, Yoangelys Rijo-Cedeno was the top finisher for the Marauders. She placed 38th with a time of 25.50.00. In last season's PSAC Championship, Rijo-Cedeno finished 110th with a time of 28:47.00.
• Natalie Poulton was the second Millersville harrier to cross the finish line, placing 65th with a 26:34.00 mark.
• Elizabeth Rudderow (27:02.00, 79th) and Emily Bland (27:04.00, 83rd) were the next Marauders to finish. Rudderow improved from her 105th-place finish from last season's PSAC Championship, in which she clocked in at 27:44.30.
• Victoria Ranck finished 114th with a time of 27:51.00 and Skylar Maurer was next, placing 133th with a 28:25.00 mark.
• Jillian Miller, competing in her first race since Sept. 22, was the seventh Millersville runner to finish, clocking in with a time of 28:44.00 to finish 143rd. Devon Matz was right behind her with a time of 28:45.00, placing 144th.

COACH ANDY YOUNG QUOTES
• "Today was all about racing. The mud was deep and it was a day for physically and mentally tough runners. I was excited to see our team be competitive today. Although we didn't hit the goal of a top 10 finish, we did get closer. It left our team hungry for more."
• "Yoangelys Rijo-Cedeno had her best college race. She passed over 20 women after the first mile and came close to earning all-conference, which was a big improvement for her."
• "A few of our women were disappointed today, but we have one more meet to give it all we've got. We have seen steady improvement throughout this season, which I expect will continue."

NOTES
• Millersville totaled a team score of 363.
• The Marauders finished ahead of Bloomsburg, Mansfield and Pitt-Johnstown.

UP NEXT
• Millersville concludes its season on Saturday, Nov. 17 when it competes in the NCAA Atlantic Regional at 11:15 a.m. at host Slippery Rock.
