RESULTS

The men's cross country team did not have to travel far for its third race of the season as the Huskies ran against four other squads at the Boston University Invitational on Sunday morning in Franklin Park.

Northeastern reserved its top runners for the championship season which starts in three weeks, but freshman John Jantz, in his first collegiate race, led the pack for NU with an individual time of 25:57 for 21st place.

“I was very happy with the way John performed today,” distance coach Renny Waldron said. “With that performance today, he very well may be running with the rest of the team in three weeks at the New England Championship.”

Senior Dan Clayton secured 59th place with a clip of 27:23 while freshman Chris Mentas turned in a mark of 27:29 for 62nd.

Junior Kyle Audet and freshman Steve Francis went stride for stride, finishing one second apart from each other. Audet cross in 27:52 for 68th while Francis picked up 69th in 27:53.

A trio of freshmen all finished around the same mark as Joseph Curreri and Luke Malley finished in sync, both with rates of 28:07 for t-72nd. Jonathon Lampron joined his classmates after clocking in 28:13 for 74th.

Junior Matt Webber rounded out the Huskies' contingent with a 77th-place time of 28:30.

Marist's Adam Vess dominated the field with a swift time of 24:55 to take down the individual crown.

Northeastern will have three weeks to rest its legs and revisit familiar territory for the New England Championship on Sat., October 10 at Franklin Park.
