CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.– The App State men's cross country team capped competition at the Panorama Farms Invitational early Saturday morning, finishing eighth in the team standings with 235 points.
"Junior
Ethan Lipham and graduate student
Ethan Turner both raced really well. I was excited to see them compete up front in a solid field," said men's distance coach
Brad Herbster. "We need to work on sliding our third, fourth, and fifth runners up, as they were too far back today to be as successful as we would have liked in the team standings. This is the last race before conference, so it is important we learn and move forward."
Lipham was the first Mountaineer to cross the finish line, stopping the clock at 23:43.6 for an 8K personal best. Lipham finished 15th overall. With a time of 23:59.3, Turner finished 28th overall. Redshirt junior
Chase Burrell rounded out the top-75 with a time of 24:46.1. Freshmen
Thomas Wlazlowski and
Aaron Kidd finished with times of 25:09.7 and 25:12.1, respectively.
