The Butler cross country teams opened their season on Saturday, Feb. 6 at the Lipscomb Winter Classic in Nashville, Tennessee, in dominating fashion. While it is unusual to have cross country meets in the winter, the Butler programs proved to be up for the challenge by winning both the men’s and women’s races.
In the first race of the day, seven runners on the men’s side set personal records in the 8k. Butler graduate student Simon Bedard won the race with a time of 24:04:9. Junior Barry Keane and graduate student Remi Schyns placed in the next two spots behind him with times of 24:15.
