CANANDAIGUA — Running on their home course, freshman Leah Lloyd (Macedon, N.Y./Palmyra-Macedon) and classmate Elizabeth Rose placed 1-2 for the Finger Lakes Community College women's cross country team during Saturday's annual Bruce Bridgeman Invitational.

It was the second straight race where Lloyd and Rose captured the top two spots, this time on the 5K course on FLCC's campus.
