Victory! Three Top-15 Finishes Guide Spartan Men to XC Win
Oct 5, 2014
WEST ALLIS, Wis. - Spartan front-runners Payton Nevills and Alec Bass propelled the University of Dubuque men’s cross country team to victory lane at the Wisconsin Lutheran Invitational.
The Spartans tallied 101 points and managed to fight off Wisconsin Lutheran and Trinity Christian (106 points each) who were hot on their tail in the 16-team meet. According to assistant coach Geoff Gundlach it was the team's first win in over 51 years.
Nevills led the men with a sixth place finish and a time of 27:25.8 and outleaned Bass (7th, 27:26.4) by a hair at the line. Their competitive battle led to solid times on the slower, edgier Wisconsin Lutheran course.
Jordan Murray completed the top-15 trio with a time of 28:08 that gave him a 14th place finish. Jack Lindsay held down the fort as the Spartans No. 4 in 25th place at 28:47, while Ames Helzer (50th, 30:35) put the finishing touches on the Spartan Five.
"Alec and Payton ran a planned controlled effort, but Murray ran his best race of the season and looked strong. Helzer stepped up and made the difference today," said Gundlach.
Isaac Hernandez (71st, 31:30) and Nick Dolan (74th, 31:40) rounded out the varsity squad.
"I'm proud of the men's continued effort and development and look forward to the contributions of Matt Zittrisch and Jon Berland as they come back from injury," said Gundlach on the status of the Spartans moving forward.
Their win gives them momentum heading into the Loras Dr. Tucker Invite on October 17th at 4:30 pm in Dubuque.
