LOGAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- The Elizabethtown College women's cross country team got a preview of what some of the field will be like at the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional and potentially further on at NCAAs after taking part in the Inter-Regional Border Battle hosted by Rowan University. The Blue Jays took ninth in Saturday's open race and were 17th in the Women's Division III Championship race.
