Led by three Bruin men who were named all-Conference, the Bruin men’s cross country team rose to the runner-up spot at today’s NSAA Cross Country Championship. This was the Bruin’s best finish as a team in their short four-season existence, bettering a fourth-place showing in 2019. The Bruins posted a team score of 59 (sum of their first five runners finishing places) to edge Dickinson State by two points. The Dakota State men put four runners into the Top Ten and tallied a team score of 40 points, advancing them to the NAIA National Championship on November 19 in Ft. Vancouver, Wash.
Four members of the Bruin's men's cross country team used Saturday's Mount Marty Invite as a final tune-up for the NSAA Championship in two weeks. The Bruins were without a full squad as runners were held out to address injury issues in hopes of having them back to race in two weeks.
Several breakthrough performances highlighted a very strong effort by the Bruin men at Saturday’s Holiday Inn Express Cross Country Classic hosted by Dordt University. A quality field of runners traversed the three loops of the Dordt Prairie, highlighted by a dominating performance by the No. 13 ranked Dordt men. The Defenders placed all seven of their runners in the top ten for a low team total of 18 with just one Northwestern Iowa runner breaking up the perfect 1-2-3-4-5 score. The Bruins, despite running without their usual third man, placed a solid fifth place among the nine complete teams.
The Bruins’ five scorers averaged 27:32 for eight kilometers, easily the best team clocking in program history. As was the case last week, the Bruins were barely edged from the third team spot as conference foe Dakota State defeated them 116 to 120.
NCAA Division II Wayne State edged the Bellevue University men’s cross country team 52 to 53 for second place in Friday’s Wildcat Classic.
Freshman Peyton Anthony and senior Chris Casart finished in 10th and 11th respectively to lead the Bruin men in their cross country season opener at the Bill Buxton Invitational hosted by Simpson College. Anthony covered the 6-kilometer course in 20:12.7 with Casart right behind in 20:18.7.
