The Syracuse Orange cross-country teams were down in Virginia this weekend for a preview of the NCAA Championship Panorama Farms course.
Against a strong field, the Orange men took 4th place (167 points) behind #1 Northern Arizona (71), #3 BYU (101) and #6 North Carolina (157). Syracuse was only 10 points behind UNC despite the Tar Heels having two top-10 finishers and the Orange’s #1 runner Paul O’Donnell taking 19th. It was Syracuse’s depth that propelled them in this one as they finished 19th, 31st (Perry Mackinnon), 35th (Sam Lawler), 38th (Assaf Harari), and 44th (Alex Comerford).
