56th Annual All-Ohio Intercollegiate Overall Division I Results

CEDARVILLE, Ohio – University of Dayton senior Chris Lemon captured the 56th Annual All-Ohio Intercollegiate Men’s 8K Championship in a course-record time of 24:11 at Cedarville University’s Elvin R. King Cross Country Course Friday.

Lemon, who became the first ever UD men's runner to win the All-Ohio 8K, beat out 266 runners to win the title and helped the Flyer men finish second in the Division I race. With the 8,000 meter men's cross country title, Lemon has completed the All-Ohio trifecta in 2010. He won the Indoor Track All-Ohio 3,000-meter championship in January 2010, captured the 10,000-meter All-Ohio Outdoor Track Championship in the spring of 2010 and completed the All-Ohio Championship Grand Slam with the victory today.

Chris’s twin brother Matt Lemon finished fourth in a time of 24:28. Sophomore Greg Roeth crossed the line in a personal best time of 24:55, edging out two runners at the finish line with a strong kick. Roeth cut 22 seconds off his personal best and is the third Flyer to join UD's elite sub-25-minute club - the other two members are Chris and Matt Lemon.

Sophomore Kyle Lowry was Dayton’s fourth man across the finish line, taking 31st in a time of 25:23, taking four seconds off his personal best. Sophomore Jeremy Schiele, fighting through an asthma attack, finished 77th in 26:09. Freshman Doug Norris was 80th in 26:14 and sophomore Nate Addessi was 110th in 26:42 for UD.

Miami won the event with 67 points, followed by Dayton (82), Ohio (89), Xavier (90), Cincinnati (95) and Toledo (126). The Rockets are currently ranked 15th in the USTFCCCA D-I Great Lakes Region rankings.

Dayton will have a bye week and then will run in the NCAA Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind. on Saturday, Oct. 16 at 11:45 a.m.
