Kenosha, Wisconsin - The men's cross country team continued their season at the Lucian Rosa Invite hosted by the University of Wisconsin Parkside. The Saints raced at the historic Wayne E. Dannehl National Cross Country Course and placed third as a team. Aquinas, who is currently receiving votes in the latest NAIA rankings, found themselves battling the heat, the hills, a muddy 6K course and some quality competition on the afternoon.
Will VanderBor paced the Saints finishing 5th overall in a time of 26:42. Following VanderBor through the finish chute was
Parker Fenton, who placed 15th in a time of 27:11. Aquinas' next four men would then finish within 13 seconds of each other with

Charlie Coyle (19th - 27:16),
Austin Williford (21st - 27:27) and
