BUENA VISTA, Va. --- Washington and Lee University turned its hosting responsibilities at the 2016 ODAC Cross Country Championships into title-winning rewards as the Generals won both the men's and women's team trophies for the second straight season. W&L accumulated just 38 points in the women's competition after six kilometers on the custom course situated on the back nine at the Vista Links Golf Course in Buena Vista, Va. The Generals' racked up even fewer place points from the men's eight-kilometer race with 32 markers showing in the team standings.
