Fresh off of a three-week training period, the St. John's cross country team returns to action on Friday, Oct. 10, for its first championship meet of the season, the 2014 Metropolitan Championships at historic Van Cortlandt Park in Bronx, N.Y. The Red Storm will be looking to improve upon its eighth-place finish out of 12 teams in last year's championship race and build upon its positive showing at last month's Br. John Doyle/Iona Meet of Champions also held at Van Cortlandt Park, St. John's home-away-from-home.
