Men's Cross Country Finishes 12th at Mark Covert Classic

9/1/2018 1:55:00 PM | Men's Cross Country

In its first competition of the season, the UC Riverside Men's Cross Country team finished 12th in the 8k at the Mark Covert Classic with a team score of 277. Freshman Antonio Carbajal led the Highlanders with a time of 26:03.2.

With the majority of the schools competing from the Big West, the coaches saw the classic as a great way to gauge where the team is at.

"Antonio raced his heart out," coach Rob Hansen said. "In our next meet we hope that the team will be able to run together more as a group. We want a strong unit and today the group spread out a lot."

The team will head to Mammoth Lakes, CA next week for training and team bonding before the UC Riverside Invitational on Sept. 15.
