The Patriot men finished their CAA Championship
race in second place this afternoon, while the women ended the day in seventh.
The men finished behind William & Mary, who
took home their 12th consecutive CAA Championship. Despite the
second place finish, Mason, who came into the weekend ranked 12th in
the region, had three runners finish the race with All-CAA honors. Junior
Alex Zyryanov, who finished seventh overall with a time of 25:29, sophomore
Michael Conway, who finished ninth with a time of 25:30 and junior Philip Blankenship who finished 12th with a time of 25:39 were all
rewarded with All-CAA status.
The women were led today by freshman Peyton Lowe
who finished 22nd overall with a time of 23:27. Junior
Rochelle Sceats, who had led the team for much of the beginning of the year,
was out this afternoon due to injury.
