Do you have what it takes to be the next Raider?!
Meet this Raider:

Student-Athlete: Abby Melican

Hometown: New York City, New York 
Event Group: Distance
Major: Undeclared 

We asked Abby “Why did you choose Colgate XC/TF?” Check out her response!

“ I chose Colgate XC/TF because of the positive and welcoming atmosphere both on and off the track. Being surrounded by supportive teammates and coaches help me achieve my running goals while still allowing me to pursue other interests of mine. The beautiful campus and surrounding nature further encouraged me to choose Colgate :)” #colgatexctf #colgate #colgateuniversity #colgateathletics #gogate #trackandfield #crosscountry #distance #patriotleague #ncaatf #ncaadivision1 #meetthisraider
