(Grand Rapids, Mich.)  In the annual battle for the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Championship, the Cornerstone Men's Cross Country team had their best race of the year, claiming the runner up spot.

Conditions at Riverside Park were cold and calm, good for fast running. The early pace was quick, but the opening mile of just over five minutes resulted in a lead pack of nearly twenty men, including four from CU. By three miles, little had changed as Travis Mabe, Jared Courtright, Cody Risch and Thomas Bambach held from with a 15:20 split.

In the final two miles Aquinas secured the win, putting their first five in the top ten. Cornerstone countered with seniors, Mabe and Courtright finishing fifth and sixth with Bambach and senior, Cody Risch bookending a blanket nine through twelve group that finished one second apart.
