Cross Country Teams Shine In Two Meets

Bulldogs race at Iowa and Minnesota

The Drake University cross country teams turned in strong performances in two regional meets Friday evening as the teams competed at the Hawkeye Invitational and the Oz Memorial.

Drake's men's team took second at the Hawkeye Invitational in Iowa City as newcomer Adam Fogg won the 6-kilometer race in 18:06.8 at the Ashton Cross Country Course. He won the race by nearly 10 seconds in his first competition as a Bulldog.

Fogg was followed by Kyle Brandt in eighth place in 18:26.6 while newcomer Isaac Basten was 12th in 18:39.5.

Iowa won the team competition with 26 points, followed by the Bulldogs with 51.

Drake's women were paced by current Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Athlete of the Week Millie Bretl again. She took 13th on the 4-kilometer course in 14:42.2, just 11 seconds out of the top 10. Rachel Selva was the next Bulldog across the line in 15:12.7, followed by Olivia Rogers in 30th with a 15:17.1 finish.

Drake's women finished fifth in the seven-team event.

A group of men's competitors also traveled north to race in the Oz Memorial, hosted by the University of Minnesota in honor of the Bulldogs' former head coach, Gary Osborn.

Drake finished third in the four-team event. Andrew Berndt led the Bulldogs on the 4-mile course with a time of 21:39.0 to finish 14th.
