Freshman Ed Wigton (Lucas, Ohio) paced the way for the Crusader men with a time of 28:13.50 becoming the first freshman in either men's or women's cross country to lead their team in time this season.
Dustin Iacovone, a senior from Westerville, Ohio, finished second individually for the men's team with a time of 28:35.80. Junior Erik Morris (Cincinnati, Ohio) finished third nearly four seconds after Iacovone with a time of 28:39.58.
