The Rams capped off a great year in the event, earning the school's first national title in the 4xMile at the indoor nationals.
In Sunday's race, junior Karina Tavares put the Rams right into the mix with a solid 5:02 opening leg. Freshman Emily Kane, a newcomer to the squad, kept her teammates within striking distance with a 5:14. La Salle secured the crown with the 1-2 punch of junior Eliza Rego (4:57) and senior Sheridan Wilbur (5:00) chasing down front-running Tolland during the late stages.
