Race Highlights
• The Blue Jays got out well early, but were unable to maintain their top positions and by the time the last leg of the race got going JHU was too far back to make a move in the race on a wet and muddy course.
• Harley Moyer of Washington & Jefferson won the race with a time of 25:55, two seconds ahead of Ryan Herlihy of Haverford. The Fords and Carnegie Mellon runners packed up in the front as the Fords placed two runners in the top-five while Tartans placed three runners in the top-12.
• Jared Pangallozzi was the top-finisher for Hopkins as he placed 12th with a time of 26:23, which was just one second behind Josh Kalapos of Carnegie. Andrew King was the next Blue Jay to cross the finish line as he finished 17th with a time of 26:31. That time was three seconds faster than Andrew Singh of Carnegie Mellon who placed 19th.
• Earning All-Region honors along with Pangallozzi and King was Scott Pourshalchi, who finished in 30th with a time of 26:52.  The top 35 finishers in the race earn All-Region honors.
