GENEVA, N.Y.—William Smith College had five runners finish among the top-20 to earn a runner-up finish with 65 points at the annual Hobart Cross Country Invitational today.

Sophomore Leanne Roncolato (Meadville/Meadville, Pa.) crossed the finish line first for the Herons in 12th place of 53 runners with a time of 25:24.
