NCAA Regionals: Men's results

All spring, summer and autumn, the theme for our program has been BE BETTER. Much like at the MAAC meet two weeks ago, our men's XC team lived and breathed it today. How's this for BETTER?

--A 20th place finish, seven places higher and more than 170 points better than 2013
--Mark Valentino and Pat Rynkowski lopping more than a minute off their 2013 Regional race performances (a MINUTE!)
--A 1-through-5 spread of 25.31 seconds (remember, this is a 10k!). The only team that had a better spread was meet champion Syracuse.

Better indeed. Very proud of our men today ...
