St. Olaf Invitational - 2nd of 16
The men's cross country went to the St. Olaf Invitational Saturday hoping to make a statement. Teams all over Division III cross country received the message loud and clear. The third-ranked Blugolds took second overall behind NCAA Division II Sioux Falls, but in the process, they took down defending Division III national champion and top-ranked St. Olaf on the Oles home course. Transfer Josh Thorson took second overall to St. Olaf's Grant Wintheiser, who took third at last year's national meet. Thorson crossed the line of the 8,000-meter race in 24:56.2, a little under four seconds behind Wintheiser.
