RESULTS - NCAA DIVISION III ONLY
Story by David Wahl III
CEDARVILLE, Ohio - The All-Ohio Intercollegiate Championships never disappoint when it comes to the heat, metaphorically and physically. The 2 p.m. start time showed no mercy as the athletes endured heat with no shade coverage. Despite the grueling temperature, the Wilmington College men's cross country team took 15th place out of a 33-team field that featured many scholarship teams.
Miami University (Ohio) took first place while fellow Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) mates, John Carroll University, took third overall. The Fightin' Quakers placed fourth out of all the NCAA Division III teams present.
The highlight of the day was the Quakers improvement from 2019. Simon Heys led the men with a 25.41.1 and a 15th-place finish. The squad has seen great teamwork as runners 2-5 finished within a 10-spot range. Noah Tobin (105th) headed the pack, followed by Tyler Parks (111th), Cohen Frost (113th) and Eric Reynolds (114th).
Wilmington take a week off before heading to the Louisville Cross Country Classic in Kentucky on the 2nd of October.
