"On the men's side, although we've run limited mileage this year, our guys fought hard today to overcome the 10k distance," said head coach Doug Hoover.

"Chris Fischer led us for the sixth time this season, his 110th place finish was comparable to the outstanding finish of his freshman campaign, before he sat out last year's regional meet.  He's shown a lot of consistency and strength this season," Hoover continued.
