Men’s XC is bound for National’s as they win the Region 10 Championship!
The men’s XC squad had a successful day out at their home course, Milliken Arboretum, winning the Region 10 Championship! The men won 16-45, one away from a perfect score, while placing three men in the top seven overall for All-Region honors.
Starting off the Pioneers were Zander Allen, 29:50, and Trey Armstrong, 30:15. “Both runners got out well and established position early. It was nice to see them pack up and run most of the 8K together. Zander took 2nd overall and Trey was right after in 3rd, earning All-Region honors!”
Next up was Bryce Strickland, 31:28, who also earned All-Region Honors place 5th overall. “Bryce continues to execute his race plans and have success on the XC course.”
The next pack was Marc Mixtega, Andrew Riggs, and Trey Tynes. “All these guys ran well together in the early stages of the race. We remained tough and only allowed one Louisburg runner to split our pack.”
Finishing out the Pioneers was Tye Price. “It was great to see Tye race out there. He really stepped up dropping three minutes from his last race at Milliken, a huge drop in time.”
“Overall, we had a very successful day on the men’s side. We stuck to our race plans and remained confident throughout the 8K. I am proud of what these men have accomplished so far and am excited to have earned another two weeks and continue to prepare for Nationals!”
The men will race at the NJCAA XC National Championship on November 12th in Tallahassee, FL.
