Men's Cross Country

Milner continues great season as Eagles run at Louisville Classic

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Carson Milner added a near-record breaking performance to his already impressive junior season resume at the Louisville Cross Country Classic on Saturday.

Running as an individual in the Men's 8K Blue division, Milner took second in the 416-runner field in 24:48.5. Only Clay Peets from NCAA Division-I St. Bonaventure (N.Y,) was better in a time of 24:12.

In four races this season, Milner has two wins and four top-three finishes. The only runners to finish ahead of him this season are from D-I programs.

Milner, who broke the program 6K record earlier this season, finished just three seconds shy of the 8K record Saturday. That mark of 24:45 was set by Jacob Kocis during the 2021 season.

8K SILVER

The Rest of the Eagles took part in the 8K Silver race, coming in 15th in the 33-team field with 407 points.

Leading Midway in the nearly 250-runner field was Connor Byrd, who placed 61st in 28:01.7. Byrd was joined in the top 100 by Lance Logan, who was 77th in 28:22.9, and Jonathan Kocis, who was 81st in 28:28.1.

Other finishers were Adam Higgs (134th, 29:39.8), Ridge Revers (161st, 30:33.2), Noah Hampton (196th, 32:15.6) and Noah Hale (206th, 33:09.5).

The Eagles return to action Oct. 17 at the Jenna Strong Classic in Wilmington, Ohio.
