TUCSON - Vincent Mauri was on another planet Friday morning at Arizona's Dave Murray Invite. The junior won the men's 8K in 24:17.9, 17 seconds ahead of sophomore teammate Conant Smith (24:34.9). Their podium finishes helped the men ultimately win the day with a total time of 2:04:23, three minutes ahead of New Mexico State and four ahead of Arizona. The women celebrated freshman Hayden Sparks' third-place 21:24.1 finish on the 6K course.
"I think Vinny could be one of the best guys in the country this fall," head coach Patrick Henner said.
