BRUNSWICK, Me. — The Trinity College Men's Cross Country team competed in the New England Small College Athletic Conference Championship on Saturday, November 2nd, at the Pickard Cross Country Course.

First-year Tyler Johnson led the team, finishing 70th overall with a time of 26:17.24. He was followed closely by Lars Sippel, who clocked in at 26:51.53, and John Hutchins, who finished with a time of 27:09.35. The team's other top finishers included Dolan Pols (27:13.79), T.J. Sparno (27:29.65), Alex Willard (27:50.28), Calix MacCormick (27:50.70), Saqlain Anjum (28:02.27), and Dylan Idelman (28:10.60).

Head Coach John Michael Mason reflected on the race, saying, "Our men's team is young and has faced some challenges with sickness this year. Today was an important learning opportunity for the program." He added, "We were up against a very talented field, but the team has a chance to regroup for the NCAA Mideast Regional in two weeks. I believe in their ability to perform well at that meet!"

The Bantams' top seven performers will have the opportunity to compete on November 16th at the NCAA Regional Championship, hosted by Connecticut College at Harkness Memorial State Park.
