"The men performed very well and exceeded my expectations for the day," said co-head coach Kellin Loch. Carter Moss had a fabulous day, setting a new school record for the 4-mile and breaking his personal 5k best inside of a four-mile race—a very impressive feat. John Kuntze proved that he put in work over the summer and was our number three runner at the meet and, like Carter, broke his high school best 5k time by over a minute within this four-mile race! Our returner who raced on the men's team this weekend, Adam Broekemeier, improved his time at this meet by one minute and 43 seconds when compared to last year's time!"
