Team Results
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Freshman Paul Luevano was victorious in his collegiate debut, one of five Terriers to place in the top 10 as the Boston University men's cross country team cruised to a win at the season-opening Nassaney Invitation hosted by Bryant on Saturday morning.
BU finished with 19 points, 45 clear of second-place Rhode Island. The only other Patriot League school in the event was Holy Cross, which totaled 118 points.
It was a banner day for the newest Terriers, as all four newcomers finished in the top 10. Luevano crossed the finish line in 25:17.0, well ahead of the second-place competitor. Classmate Brett Davidson took third (25:51), with sophomore Johnny Kemps placing fifth in his BU debut (26:04). Right behind him was rookie Greg Pelose in sixth (26:05).
Senior Ethan Homan rounded out the top 10 with a time of 26:24, followed by classmate Cullin Burdett in 11th (26:29). Two other Terriers finished in the top 20, with sophomore Alexander Seal crossing the line in 16th (27:00) and classmate Zachary Prescott placing 18th (27:01).
Another sophomore, Ian Anderson, was 23rd (27:21) while senior Matti Groll took 26th (27:28). Sophomores Daniel Erickson (28:26) and Liam O'Connell (28:37) were 42nd and 45th, respectively.
BU will have nearly a month off before its next competition. The Terriers will defend their New England championship on Oct. 8 at Franklin Park.
