The Syracuse Orange men’s track and field team only scored in one event on the first day of the ACC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. However, the 23 points they scored in the event was enough to push the Orange into the lead of the men’s team competition. Syracuse flexed their distance muscles in the 10k by placing five runners in the top seven.
Iliass Aouani led the way with a 2nd-place finish in 29:59, which put him a second behind the winner Peter Seufer of the Virginia Tech Hokies. Kevin James took 3rd in 30:05 with Philo Germano 5th (30:13), Dom Hockenbury 6th (30:16) and Joe Dragon in 7th (30:17).
