Men's Cross Country Finishes the Season Strong at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals

11.12.21 | Men's Cross Country

BETHLEHEM, PA- The Temple men's cross country team picked up a top-10 finish at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals Friday afternoon. The 10k race was a challenge that the Owls had not faced this season. The men as a team put together their best performance of the season despite the difficult conditions. Joe Arthur led the Owls with a 13^th place finish out of 174 runners. The finish for Arthur puts him in contention to qualify for the NCAA National Championships next week in Tallahassee, Florida. All six of Temple's runners finished in the top-100.

From Head Coach James Snyder

"I thought we came in and executed as well as we could have. Joe once again put himself in contention to be in the mix for nationals, we have to wait and see with that. I thought some of our young guys performed well today with this being the first 10k they have run, Brayden and Liem both showed a lot today. I think this group of guys can be infinitely better this time next year."

Race Notes

Arthur led the Owls with a 13^th place finish and a time of 30:39.6.
Temple saw all six runners finish in the top-100.
Princeton picked up the win as a team with Georgetown and Villanova rounding out the top 3.
