The 2011 season for the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) cross-country teams began Saturday, Sept. 10, in the SUNY Oswego Invitational.
The men's team made the road trip in a biodiesel-powered bus using fuel manufactured by ESF from used cooking oil. The used cooking oil is collected from student dining halls and other food establishments. Biodiesel is also being manufactured from the 900-pound butter sculpture that recently graced the New York State Fair.
The ESF cross-country team has established a record of success in just three years.
In 2011, the men's team won the USCAA national championship and the women's s team finished second. In 2010, the first year of official varsity competition, the women finished second in the national championship and the men were fifth.
Cross-country was established at ESF in 2009.
