Strong day for a partial squad of men at Mets, with a third-place (hardware) finish on a fast course in Newark. Here are (some of the) men’s highlights:
--Third-place finish was highlighted by a tight 1-5 compression (20.67 seconds separated first finish through fifth finisher). This continues to be a season-long goal for the men
--Mendonca’s lead-runner finish was a major breakthrough effort. Go Franko!
--Mendonca, Locker and Pattison earned top-5 scoring spots for first time in their Marist XC careers (also highly neat)
--5 of the 9 finishers were freshmen (Mayer, Wisker, Cavuoto, Ferreri)
--Next up for the men = IC4A Championships, Friday, 13 Oct at Van Cortlandt Park
