The Judges ran their final race of the season last Saturday at the New England Division III Regional Championships at Westfield State University with 367 other Division-III runners from the New England area. The men finished in 13th place and the women finished in 16th place out of 50 teams to conclude their seasons.


Brandeis squared off against nationally ranked competitors, including No. 5 Tufts University as well as No. 31 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Judges also raced in a field with runners from No. 8 Middlebury College, No. 14 Bowdoin College, and No. 17 Williams College.


Molly Paris '16, who ran the six-kilometer course in 25 minutes, 50 seconds, was impressed with the team's results and believed it was a fitting way to end the season.
"I was really proud of myself and my team," said Paris. "I was excited to run a whole minute-and-a-half faster than my last race.


"It was a great last meet."
