FORT WORTH, Texas – The Washburn men's cross country team turned in another strong team performance at the Dallas Baptist Old Glory Gallop, placing three runners in the top 15 and seven in the top 50 in a field including more than 400 entries. The Ichabods finished second overall as a team out of 40 teams overall.
Leading the way was Donald Kibet, who ran to a second-place finish in 23:46.16, just behind the individual winner. Tommy Roehl followed close behind in sixth place (24:14.82). Sebastiaan Horselenberg gave Washburn its third top-15 finisher, clocking 24:35.71 for 15th.
Lukas Mehl and Adrian Lehman rounded out the Ichabods' scoring five with near-identical times, finishing 33rd (24:49.07) and 34th (24:52.56).
Ludovico Vaccari (40th, 25:01.56) and Alex Adams (43rd, 25:03.19) were just seconds behind, helping tighten the team's overall spread.
