NEW CONCORD, Ohio – The Capital University men's and women's cross country teams were in action this afternoon at the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships, hosted by Muskingum University at Moorehead Farms in New Concord, Ohio. 

The Capital men compiled 260 points to place 8th out of 10 schools, while the women scored 263 points to take 10th. John Carroll took the top honors in both genders. 

The rolling hills course that the race was run on did not favor times well for anyone as many of the times had several seconds added to them with the grueling up-hill sections of the course proving difficult to shave off time. 

MEN
Donovan Slattery paced the Comet men and finished 35th overall with a time of 27:50.7. He was followed by Zach Brown who placed 117th in a time of 31:20.0. Not too far back was Max Kramer who toed the line with a time of 31:32.6 – good for 121st. 

Zach Glotzbecker was the next finisher for Cap, placing 134th with a time of 32:27.3. Grant Wessler was just behind with a time of 33:21.8. Sam Siedel rounded it out with a time of 34:48 even to conclude the Capital men's scoring. 

WOMEN
Eva Bernhardt was the leader in the women's race for Capital as she placed 42nd overall and crossed with a time of 26:01.0. Alexa Daley was next for Capital as she placed 75th in a time of 27:50.

Elizabeth Mak and Allison Costanzo then crossed the line together, just one second apart in 96th and 97th running times of 30:08.6 and 30:09.8, respectively. 

Olivia Humes and Kylynn Barr rounded out the scoring positions for Capital, running times of 34:02.9 and 34:03.5, respectively. Humes was filling in on the scoring list for Capital due to injuries elsewhere in the typical lineup.
