I've attached a link to the results page for all the XC results from this Friday.

But in the Blue Races, which seems to be where the top teams sent their top competitors, the guys:

- Took 1st in the 5=Mile Race:
1) ND 87
2) Fla. State 95
3) Alabama 114
4) NC State 174
5) Mich. St. 177

Joshua Methner, a junior, took 6th for the Irish in 23:27. while frosh Cj Singleton took 11th in 27:45

National Champs NC State came to South Bend and took 1st in the Womens' 5000m race, with 44 points to the Irish 53. Top teams:

1) Wolfpack 44
2) Irish 53
2) Alabama 73
4) UC Davis 152
5) Flor. State 182

Top Irish Finishers:

5th. Jr. Siona Chisholm 16:26
6th Sr. Olivia Markezich 16:31
12) Sr. Andrea Markezich 16:42
13) Fr. Grace Schager 16:47
17) Jr. Erin Strezelecki 16:52

Don't know if NC State was running it's top guns, but good to see the Irish taking them on before the ACC and NCAA's.
