Francis Ferruzzi clocked a 19:06.12 and Nick Ross crossed at 19:06.59, filing in 12th and 13th. In all, 21 Explorers competed in the 6K, with 10 runners finishing in the top half of the field. 

"We ran a very strong race," head coach Dan Ireland said. "I was very pleased at how we stayed patient early in the race and than ran extremely well over the last one-k. Ian Barnhill and freshman Fran Ferruzzi ran outstanding races. I am very pleased where the guys are at this point in the season." 

The Explorers will run again on Thursday, September 26 at the Main Line Invitational.
