The Ivies Own Tobago
March 8, 2010
Four of the first five runners mentioned in the USATF’s post-race coverage of the NACAC Cross Country Championships from Tobago were former Ivy League performers. Here’s the opening graphs of story (with schools replacing the city of the participant):
Delilah DiCrescenzo (Columbia) and Max King (Cornell) each won the individual open women’s and men’s titles to lead Team USA to the respective open team titles Saturday at the sixth annual North America, Central America and Caribbean Athletic Association Cross Country Championships at the Mt. Irvine Resort in Tobago.
The NACAC Championships contested races for the open men’s 8k, open women’s 6k, junior men’s 6k and junior women’s 4k.
King took charge early to win the open men’s 8 km in 23 minutes, 49 seconds, leading the U.S. squad to a perfect score of 10 points. Michael Spence (Princeton) finished 17 seconds behind King for the runner-up position while Bobby Mack and Thomas Kloos (Columbia) rounded out the scoring places for Team USA, running 24:26 and 24:34 for third and fourth-place respectively.
