The Manhasset High School boys cross-country team traveled to Providence, RI to race in the October 13 and 14 to race in the 23rd Annual Brown Invitational Cross-Country Meet. This was the 21st year the team has traveled to this meet at Goddard Park, which includes teams from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine and New York Schools.
