The Royals were the only Division II team competing in the meet.
BOONE, N.C.- In a field dominated by NCAA Division I teams, freshman Chris Enriquez (Downey, Calif., Warren) led Queens University of Charlotte to a third place finish while the Royals competed without their key fourth and fifth men due to illness. Ohio State, ranked 26th in DI, took the team title with 21 points, while Appalachian State outpaced the Royals for second 64 to 100. Northern Kentucky finished fourth at 106, while East Tennessee State, Western Carolina and UNC-Ashville were fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.
Enriquez finished as the top freshman in the race in sixth place overall at 19:46.0 for the 4-mile (6,400-meter) course, followed by Anthony Mallory (Merced, Calif., Golden Valley Merced ) (19:54.0) in eighth and Felix Duchampt (Clermont Ferrand, France, Lycée Jeanne d'Arc ) in 11th at (19:59.0) in the 72-man field.
“Our top three were competing with some of the best runners in Division I, and aggressively moved up into the top 15 holding their own,” said Coach Scott Simmons. “We are not lacking in competitiveness. By November, you will see a much stronger team.”
The Royals will be off next week and will return to action October 1st at the Greater Louisville Cross Country Classic.
