For the fifth time in as many races, William Smith College first-year Riley Poisson led the Herons to the finish line. In the 6-kilometer Mike Woods Invitational, she posted a season's best time of 23:03.4, placing eighth in a field of 232 runners. Poisson's time was a 43-second improvement over her previous best time, set on Sept. 22 at Roberts Wesleyan. At the Woods, she was the first first-year to the line and only trailed six runners from nationally-ranked Geneseo and one from Canada's Laurentian University.
