North Central College’s magical season concluded Saturday morning in Ohio, as the Cardinals simply dominated the competition at the DIII Cross Country Championships, taking home the team title with a mere 50 points. NCC placed two runners in the top six, four in the top twenty and all seven scorers placed in the top 32, each earning all-American status.
All season long NCC has been ranked US#1, and the squad showed why that was the case, beating runner-up Williams by 131 points. Junior Mike Spain (Schaumburg) placed second overall in 25:32, while senior Ryan Carrigan (Chatham-Glenwood) placed sixth overall in 25:37.
Behind Spain and Carrigan, senior Nathaniel Hird (Rock Island Alleman) placed 13th overall in 25:46, sophomore Neil Klein (Streamwood) placed 19th overall in 25:54, senior Kyle Brady (Wheaton Warrenville South) placed 21st in 25:58, sophomore Nathan Rutz (Schaumburg) placed 25th in 25:59 and senior Sean Carlson (Buffalo Grove) rounded out their top seven in 32nd place overall in 26:06.
Congratulations to North Central College!
