Men's Cross Country Dominates at Fordham Fiasco
9.10.22 | Men's Cross Country
BRONX, N.Y. - The Temple men's cross country team continued their success with a first-place finish at the Fordham Fiasco on Saturday morning. Running on the 8k course at Van Cortlandt Park, sophomores Erik Kain, Cole Frank, and Graham Thomas led the charge for the Owls, taking the top three spots at the meet.
Competing against fellow northeast schools Cornell, Fairleigh Dickinson, Mansfield, and Seton Hall, the Owls were able to separate from the pack as nine of the top-10 spots were occupied by the Cherry & White.
Individual Results (Temple):
1. Erik Kain (25:55.7)
2. Cole Frank (25:57.1)
3. Graham Thomas (26:03.7)
4. Mattia Zen (26:30.3)
5. Liem Chot (26:46.3)
6. Tyler Fauvelle (26:51.3)
7. Kenneth Guy (26:58.6)
8. Zack Marmol (27:00.5)
9. Christian Fitch (27:01.6)
12. Jimmy Koel (27:14.0)
17. Josh Christianson (27:37.9)
27. Liam Martnishn (28:34.5)
Quotable: Assistant Coach Collin Zeffer
"Today was another really strong effort for the men and a good team win. The first objective was familiarizing ourselves with an 8k distance which we did and I was thrilled with how we handled it on such a tough course. The guys were able to find each other and race in small groups which is a really valuable thing in bigger races down the road! For now we will get back to quality training before we return to competition!"
