LORAIN, Ohio -- The Allegheny College men's cross country team stretched its conference championship streak to five as they captured the 2008 North Coast Athletic Conference title.
The men's team had four runners place in the top 10, led by Zac Ross (Meadville, Pa./Meadville) and his second-place finish (25:09.9) in the 8K race. The spread among Allegheny's scoring unit was 32.1 seconds as Jeramie Parker (Middletown, Pa./Middletown) placed 13th with a time of 25:42.1. Matt Hoy (Moon Township, Pa./Moon) crossed the line in 25:15.4 to finish fourth while Tony Dipre (Twinsburg, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit) and Jakeb Zimmerman (Leechburg, Pa./The Kiski School) added sixth- and ninth-place finishes in 25:24.9 and 25:35.8, respectively.
The men now own eight conference titles, the most of any members.
With their efforts, seven Gator men were named to the NCAC All-Conference teams.
Ross, Hoy and Dipre earned first-team accolades with their top-seven placements while Zimmerman, Parker and Ryan Sullivan (Homer, N.Y.) garnered second-team selections. Also earning all-conference honors were Devon Flynnperrault (Lafayette, Calif./Campolindo), as he finished 15th, and Pat McLaughlin (Maple Glen, Pa./Upper Dublin) with his 20th place finish, to receive an honorable-mention nod.
The Gators are next in action at the NCAA Mideast Regional on Nov. 15 at Waynesburg College, with the NCAA Championships taking place the following weekend, Nov. 22 at Hanover College in Hanover, Ind.
