UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (9/10/16) - Junior Kenan Farmer led the Princeton men's cross country team to an eighth-place finish at the Spiked Shoe Invitational at Penn State on Saturday in the first meet of the 2016 season.
The Tigers earned 211 points as they ran as a pack finishing 40-41-42-43-45-46. Though Farmer crossed the line first at 27:58.5, classmate Zach Albright matched the time for 41st. Junior Rob Stone followed at 27:58.6, then junior Charlie Stahl at 27:59.0 and junior Wolfgang Beck at 28:01.6 as the final scorer. Senior Jack Leahey was the final Tiger taking 46th at 28:01.6.
"We had a good day and took from the race primarily what we wanted," Princeotn head coach Jason Vigilante said. "In nine weeks we will return for the NCAA Regional and I felt that having an opportunity to view the course would help us later in the season. That said, with the temperature above 80 and the humidity very high as well I decided we should run together and within ourselves. We have had a great summer of training and the guys that put on the uniform today are eager to compete next week at the HYP."
Syracuse won the meet with a score of 19 points with the top three finishers and Iliass Aouani taking the win.
Princeton will be back in action next Saturday, Sept. 17 when it hosts Harvard and Yale in the annual HYP meet, at West Windsor Fields.
