TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Following the best finish in school history at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational, where the women’s top runners placed second in the most competitive field in the country, the Vanderbilt women’s cross country B squad and cross country men’s teams placed 29th and 35th at the Pre-Nationals race held in Terre Haute today.
Alan Ash again led the men’s team with a 217th place time of 26:55, continuing his junior season of first-place finishes for his team.
