The men’s and women’s cross country teams opened up their seasons at the Lou Onesty Invitational in Charlottesville Saturday, running on a wet and slippery course thanks to Tropical Storm Hanna.
With redshirt freshman Max Werner taking 19th to lead the Tribe, the men placed third behind the University of Virginia and Duke University. Sophomore Jay Bilsborrow finished in 22nd, three seconds behind Werner. The women placed second in the race with two runners in the top ten, including senior Emily Arena in fifth and freshman Heather Beichner in seventh.
