On the men’s side, Virginia had eight runners finish in the top 17 of the Division I 8K race. Leading the way for the Cavaliers was junior Henry Wynne, whose 24.02.2 time was good for fifth overall. Wynne narrowly edged out teammate sophomore Brent Demarest, who crossed the finish line two seconds later to secure a sixth-place finish.

Both teams will be action in action Oct. 16 when they travel to Madison, Wis. to compete in the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational.
