Both Muhlenberg cross country teams placed in the top 10 at the DeSales Invitational, site of next month's NCAA Division III Mideast Regional.

The men came in sixth out of 25 complete teams, while the women were seventh.

The men's team placed two runners in the top 10, with senior Corey Mullins coming in fifth, one place ahead of junior Jason Richwall. The finish was the best ever for Richwall in an 8K race.

Freshman Jonah Silverman and seniors Christopher Funge (pictured above right) and Stuart Bibeau rounded out the Mules' top five.

For the women, freshman Abby Dalton placed third overall in a very competitive field of 245 finishers. Another freshman, Marielle Avola (pictured above left) placed 29th.

A trio of juniors, Stephanie Ng, Santina Zouras and Victoria Cabellos, also placed in Muhlenberg's top five.

It was the last race for both teams until the Centennial Conference Championships in three weeks.
