BETHLEHEM, PA. – With a dominant performance, the Princeton men's cross country team took first place at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional on Friday, punching the team's ticket to the NCAA Championships.

Boasting a 2-4-5-15-19 finish, the Tigers boasted a team score of 45, besting second-place Georgetown, who had 63.

Myles Hogan was the top Tiger finisher, taking second place as he crossed the 10k finish line in 29:21.2. Making his move, Hogan passed eight runners between 5k and 8k.

The second Tiger to claim a spot in the top 5 was Jacob Nenow, who took fourth place with a time of 29:35.8.

Jackson Shorten was just behind him to round out the top-5 Tigers, making a final kick to pass four runners as he raced to the finish for a time of 29:36.9.

Passing five runners at the 5k mark, Sebastian Martinez was fourth across the line for Princeton with a time of 30:14.5, good enough for 15th place overall.

The fifth and final Tiger scorer was first-year Hayden Boaz who continues to have a breakout season. Making a net gain of 51 runners throughout the race, Boaz clocked in at 30:18.2 for 19th place.

Avery Keith and Steven Hergenrother were the Tiger pushers, taking 22nd and 31st with times of 30:23.6 and 30:35.0.
