ITHACA, NY - The RIT women's indoor track and field squad competed at the Kane invitational, hosted by Cornell University on Saturday afternoon.

Danielle Simmons (Brewertown, NY/Brewertown) (Brewertown, NY) had RIT's best finish of the day, a second place showing in the 500-meter dash, finishing with a time of 1:16.95. 

The 4 x 800-meter relay team placed second as well.

The squad will be back at Cornell on Saturday, as they compete in the Denault invitational.
