With its top-five finishers all within the top-17, and within the top-15 in points, Maritime cruised to a team score of 47, which was 43 points better than second place Staten Island. St. Joseph's (LI) was the second Skyline Conference team to score with a fourth place finish, followed by Yeshiva in sixth, Farmingdale in eighth, Sarah Lawrence in 10th and St. Joseph's (Bklyn) in 17th.
 
Maritime will race just once more as the final tune-up before the Skyline Conference Championships. The Privateers will travel to Long Island this coming Saturday for a trip to Sunken Meadow Park in Kings Park, N.Y. for the St. Joseph's (LI) Invitational; the Privateers will look to improve on last year's finish in the deep fields that featured over 200 racers.
