On March 5, the No. 22-ranked Butler men’s cross country team seized the team title at the Big East Conference Championship in Cary, N.C. while the defending 2019 Big East conference champion women’s team placed fourth.
Despite only running one race in the regular season, the Bulldog men dominated the competition with all 10 of the runners setting new personal records in the 10k. This was their first Big East team title since 2010.
The race was jam-packed at the beginning with the lead pack of top-25 runners running aside one another until junior Barry Keane pushed the pace.
