Men’s Cross Country Takes First Win of the Season at George Washington

CENTREVILLE, VA - #18 William and Mary men’s cross country upset #13 Georgetown on its way to victory at the George Washington Invitational, held on the Bull Run Park Course in Centreville, VA. The Tribe, three-time defending CAA Champions, took half of the top-10 positions and placed 9 runners in the top-20 in addition to snaring the individual title as three-time All-American Ed Moran (Dayton, NJ) took top honors. The College accumulated 27 points in the meet, just ahead of Georgetown’s 29. American finished a distant third with 81 points.

Moran, a graduate student, added yet another victory to his credit with his time of 25:53.6. Junior Matt Maline (Herndon, VA) ran a great race to finish in third with a 26:04.8. Adam Tenerowicz (Blackstone, MA), continuing to impress, placed sixth at a pace of 26:16.9, while junior Jeff Hedley (Virginia Beach, VA) and sophomore Jason Schoener (Grand Blanc, MI) had solid races to finish eighth and ninth, respectively. Just outside the top-10, in 12th, was senior Adam Otstot (Richmond, VA). Senior Brendan Gaffney (Western Springs, IL), 17th, freshman Keith Bechtol (Alexandria, VA), 18th, and junior Patrick Comstock (Portsmouth, VA), 19th, all mounted solid efforts. Junior Jon Healey (Wayne, NJ) just made the top-25 by placing 25th. The College had seven more runners make the top-35.

The team had originally planned to send split squads to the Great American Cross Country Festival in Cary, NC and the Maymont Cross Country Festival in Richmond, VA on September 26, but logistical problems in the wake of Hurricane Isabel prompted the schedule change and trip to George Washington. The Tribe has a scheduled break before returning to action on October 18, when the squad will split by sending some runners to the NCAA Preview Invitational in Cedar Falls, IA while others will remain in Williamsburg to contest the Tribe Open.
