COLUMBUS, Ohio - Sophomore Raymond Korir led the Rockets, placing second at the Buckeye Preview in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, with a time of 24:37.2. The Rockets posted a seventh-place team finish with 170 points.
"Obviously Raymond had a great race for us up front and he's really learning how to control his effort levels throughout a full cross country race," said head coach Andrea-Grove McDonough. "Any time you can contend for a win in a quality field like this one, it's a good day. There was definitely a lack of experience shown today with some of our younger guys.
