The race is expected to include All-America and national runner-up Lee Berube.
Berube, a Ti High graduate who is now a senior at SUNY-Geneseo, finished second in the NCAA Division III cross country national championship race in Oshkosk, Wis., Nov. 18.
Ben Sathre of St. Thomas College of Minnesota won the five-mile race in 23 minutes, 44.27 seconds. Berube was second in 23:49.6. It was a blistering pace; one of the fastest in the history of the championship race. Berube’s time would have won the 2010 championship by nearly 40 seconds. His time was a personal best for the distance by nearly a minute.
Berube was named All America for his efforts. It’s the second consecutive season he’s been a cross country All America. He has also earned All America honors five times in track.
The runner-up finish at nationals capped a strong season for Berube. He won his third straight State University of New York Athletic Conference championship and his second straight Atlantic Region championship this fall.
