“We knew we needed to have really big days to be among the top 3 teams, and we came close. We were only 14 points behind W&J and 2 points behind Thomas More. I’m thrilled that our guys ran so aggressively today,” said cross country coach Brian Yowler. “The goal was to finish the race with no regrets, and I’m really proud of the guys for their efforts. Having three men in the top 15 was the best we’ve ever done at a PAC meet.”
This race closes the 2016 season for the Geneva College men’s cross country team. The top seven runners will race at the NCAA DIII Championships on November 12.
