CHARLESTON, S.C. — With three top-10 performances, led by a runner-up finish from senior team captain Sam Morris, the Davidson men's cross country team took top team honors at the Citadel Invitational on Saturday morning.
Morris placed second among the 68 Division I finishers and fifth overall in the field of 141 with a time of 26:08.52. He was joined by freshman Charlie Schmitt and junior Thad Sieracki in the top 10 among Division I finishers. Schmitt finished seventh (13th overall) with a time of 26:43.91, and Sieracki placed ninth (18th overall) with a time of 26:54.56.
Rounding out the scoring for the 'Cats, who amassed just 44 points, junior Alex Hoyt and freshman Josh Parkey finished in the top 15. Hoyt's time of 26:57.47 was good for 12th place (22nd overall), while Parkey finished 14th (25th overall) in a time of 26:59.32.
"Overall, I was very happy with how we raced today," head coach Gary Andrew said. "It was a positive step forward and a good morale booster and, as a result, puts us in the hunt for a top-three conference finish. Having said that, we must continue to improve and prove that we can race well consistently."
The Wildcats placed first of the nine teams in the Division I and ahead of all four SoCon teams, including Furman (2nd, 47 points), Western Carolina (3rd, 54), College of Charleston (4th, 86) and The Citadel (5th, 113).
The 'Cats will return to action on Oct. 13, when they travel Greenville, S.C. for the Furman Invitational.
