In what Head Coach Craig Christians categorized as the "best day in men's program history," the Bruin cross country team established team and individual school records at Saturday's Holiday Inn Express Classic hosted by Dordt University. Held under near-perfect conditions on Dordt's campus course, the men ran to a fourth-place finish in the eleven-team field, defeated only by NAIA No. 12 ranked Dordt, No. 14 ranked Doane, and RV Concordia while narrowly defeating (RV) Benedictine. In the process, the men produced a cumulative team time for their five scoring runners of 2:09:59.5, an average of 25:59.9 per person. That eclipsed the team record set two weeks previously by three and a half minutes.
