LEWISBURG, Pa. - Four Terriers finished in the top 10 to lead the Boston University men's cross country team to a runner-up finish at the Patriot League Championship on Saturday at Bucknell.

BU posted its best finish at a Patriot League Championship since a second-place showing in 2015. The Terriers totaled 51 points, well ahead of third-place Bucknell (85 points). Army West Point won with a score of 32 points. BU also claimed another point in the Turnpike Trophy series against Holy Cross, as the Crusaders finished seventh with 210 points.

Senior Alexander Seal led the Terriers with a third-place performance, finishing with an 8K time of 25:38.1. Junior Paul Luevano was right behind in him fourth, crossing the finish line in 25:43.2. Senior Johnny Kemps took seventh with a time of 26:09.6, followed by redshirt sophomore Brett Davidson in 10th (26:12.2).

"To have four guys in the top 10 was outstanding," head coach Paul Spangler said. "Alex battled some injuries and is a very talented guy. He kept his head to the grindstone and did a good job to come out here and have his best race of the season. Paul fell but he did a good job to get up and keep fighting."

Senior Zachary Prescott rounded out the Terrier scorers with a 30th-place performance (27:04.3) in one of the best races of his cross country career.

"Going in, we knew our fifth guy was going to be critical," Spangler said. "Zach moved up about 15 spots from the 2K mark to the end and that was important to help us secure second. I'm happy for him to finish his collegiate career on a positive note."

Sophomore Scotti Hamilton (27:17.6) and senior Ian Anderson (27:21.8) finished 36th and 39th, respectively. Freshman Marcel Aubry posted a time of 27:28.9, followed by sophomore Jonathan Fierro (27:47.0), freshman Aksel Laudon (27:51.5), sophomore Tommy Quinn (27:56.6) and freshman Joe Grandizio (27:57.8).

Next up for the Terriers will be the NCAA Northeast Regional, which will take place in Buffalo, New York, on Friday, Nov. 9.
 
"We would have liked to have been first, but we're going to stay hungry heading into regionals," Spangler said.
