Brandeis placed just one point behind NYU thanks to a fourth-place finish from Emily Bryson and 12th place by twin sister Julia.

The Judges matched the best team finish in program history, while Emily Bryson became the first four-time cross country All-American in program history.

Emily Bryson finished in a career-best ninth place, while Julia was 24th. The duo helped the Judges finish eighth in the region as a team.

Emily Bryson had the best finish by a Brandeis woman at nationals since 2002 as she became the third woman and fifth person in school history with three cross country All-America honors.
