Ahrens Leads Cardinals At Millikin Meet

The MAC XC teams traveled to Decatur, Illinois on Friday, September 30th, competing in a dual meet with Millikin University at the H. W. Wright Classic Invitational. Great weather conditions and a flat course produced some outstanding times for the Cardinals, with the men racing in their first 8k of the season.  Freshman Bradley Ahrens  had a fabulous race, narrowly placing 2nd to the top Millikin runner and posting an NJCAA Division III National leading time of 25:32. Completing the top 5 for the Cardinals behind Ahrens were Devin St. Clair-10th, Nathan St. Clair- 13th, Will Pierce- 14th, and Elijah Myers- 16th, with all 4 finishing in impressive times at this point of the season.
