Pouring rain from Tropical Storm Hanna did not stop the Virginia cross country team from making an impressive showing in its first race of the season Saturday.The Virginia men won the 8K with a combined team score of 19, leading Duke (36), William & Mary (87), George Mason (108) and Norfolk State (135).The women followed suit in the 5K run with a team score of 18, defeating William & Mary (37), and George Mason (80).The Lou Onesty Invitational marked coach Jason Vigilante?s debut with Virginia; the coach came in only a month earlier to take over the program.?I think the most important thing with our first competition is that we come away closer as a group,? Vigilante said.
