The young Hamline women's cross country team continued to show its improvement, finishing in eighth place at the MIAC meet held Saturday at Como Golf Course in St. Paul. The Pipers' final score of 223 points showed a 50-point improvement from the year before. HU also vaulted up two places in the final standings. That's a nifty accomplishment for a team whose top four scorers are sophomores and the fifth one is a junior.
