The men’s team led with the one-two punch of Jackson Long and Joe Lawler, who crossed the finish line well ahead of the competition in 15:45 and 16:48 for the 5k course, respectively. They were followed by fellow Crusaders Nathaniel Mahoney (5th), Lachlan Thomas (9th), Nicholas Terracina (10th), Jackson Laughery (11th), and Alex Garcia (17th). The men’s team easily outdistanced second place Brentwood Christian 27 to 78.
