deBoissezon qualified for the Championship after placing seventh at the NCAA Region I qualifier last weekend.  He was named the Patriot League Runner of the Week twice this season and finished 13th overall at the Patriot League Championship on Nov. 1.  The tri-captain garnered second team all-Patriot League honors for his performance.

 

Although the championship marks the end of the 2003 cross country season, deBoissezon will begin training for indoor track.  The Raiders kick off the indoor season on Dec. 6 with some athletes headed to the Husky Invitational in Boston, while others will compete at Cornell.
