CINCINNATI – The University of Dayton men's cross country team competed well at the Oliver Nikoloff Track and Field Invitational at the University of Cincinnati this Friday and Saturday.
"We had competitive performances by six underclassmen in a quality track meet. This bodes well and promises success for the upcoming fall season. We also had a star performance by senior
Tyler Roeth in the steeplechase," said UD Head Coach
Rich Davis. "The meet was hampered by rain, sleet and wind but we proved we are a very strong cross country team by overcoming those obstacles."
In the 3,000-meter Steeplechase, freshman
Hunter Johnston finished in a personal best time of 9:55 and placed eighth for one point. Senior
Tyler Roeth ran the event in 9:44.35 and was the overall winner, garnering 10 points for the Flyers.
"The Steeplechase was outstanding for us," said Davis.
The Flyers will be back in action April 4-5 at the Miami University Invitational in Oxford, Ohio.
