8,000-meter race
with a course-record
time of 25:01 to
capture NCAA
Division III
National Men’s Cross
Championship title
at St. Olaf College
this afternoon.
Bantam junior
Karen Roy (Ashford,

leading the Trinity

Bak broke the course
record at St. Olaf
by 20 seconds and
finished ahead of
the second place
runner by seven full
seconds to capture
the title and earn
All-American honors
for the second
straight season. He
pulled ahead of the
pack at the two-mile
mark and maintained
a 70-yard lead in
front of
second-place Ryan
Kleimenhagen, of
Wisc.-Platteville,
for the remainder of
the race. Classmate
and fellow Trinity
senior co-captain

overall and receive
All-American honors
for the second year

The Bantam women’s
team, ranked No. 15
in the nation,
finished fifth with
307 points, which
was just one behind
12th-place
Haverford and two
behind 11th
place College of New
Jersey. Trinity
finished ahead of
Bowdoin and St. Olaf,
both of whom were
ranked higher than
the Bantams in the

actually finished
two places better
than in the New
England Regional

weekend, were both
named All-Americans
for their
outstanding
performances.
