KENT, Ohio - The University of Dayton men's cross country team began its spring track season Saturday at the Kent State Indoor Track & Field Tune Up.

The team competes in five spring track events, one indoor and four outdoors, to prepare for the upcoming fall cross country season.

"We had eight men run competitive efforts which resulted in quality times," Head Coach Rich Davis said.

Sophomore Ethan Louis had the top finish on the day for the Flyers, placing third in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 15:16.27. He was followed close behind by freshman Tom Clark, who finished fifth in the event posting a 15:26.42 time.

Five Flyers competed in the 3,000-meter run, with all of them finishing within the top 36 runners in the 50-man field. Sophomore Hunter Johnston finished ninth in the event with a time of 8:42.94. Fellow sophomore Kyle Lach placed 12^th in the event, posting a time of 8:47.48.

Freshmen Tyler Adgalanis and Michael George finished 19^th and 25^th, respectively, and sophomore Alex Kuvin finished 36^th.

Freshman Zack Hughes was the Flyers' only participant in the 800-meter and one-mile runs, finishing 24^th and 33^rd respectively in those events.

"We got the season off to a great start, and it looks like we're building some speed that we're going to carry on through the rest of the outdoor season and into the fall cross country season," Davis said.

The Flyers begin their outdoor track season March 21.
