CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - Three-time defending CAA Champions William and Mary men’s cross country kicked off its 2003 campaign with a solid runner-up finish at the nine-team Lou Onesty Cross Country Invitational, hosted by the University of Virginia. Battling wet and soft conditions on the already challenging 8,000m course, the 15th-ranked Tribe scored 45 points to Duke’s 42. Host Virginia took third with 52 points.

Three-time All-American Ed Moran (Dayton, NJ) clocked a 24:41.50 to take third in the standings, leading the squad. The Tribe put two other runners in the top-10, as junior Matt Maline (Herndon, VA) finished in sixth (25:00.20) and freshman Adam Tenerowicz (Blackstone, MA) placed an impressive ninth (25:09.40). Sophomore Jason Schoener (Grand Blanc, MI) ran to 13th-place while four others had great runs to make it into the top 25: junior Charlie Hurt (Charlottesville, VA) in 17th, senior Adam Otstot (Richmond, VA) in 18th, junior Jon Healey (Wayne, NJ) in 24th and junior Patrick Comstock (Portsmouth, VA) in 25th.

The team returns to action on Sept. 26 as the squad splits to compete at both the Great American Cross Country Festival in Cary, NC and the Maymont Cross Country Festival in Richmond, VA.
