Complete Results

Leading the way for the Tribe once again was Rad Gunzenhauser (Pittsburgh, Pa.), who finished second overall in 24:46.56.  Freshman Trevor Sleight (Asheville, N.C.) was the bronze medalist in 25:05.17, the best finish for a true freshman since All-American Christo Landry '08 was second in 2004.  Sophomore Ryan Gousse (Apopka, Fla.) was fifth in 25:16.66, and David Barney (Lynchburg, Va.) was sixth overall in 25:26.64.  Junior Nathaniel Hermsmeier (Charlottesville, Va.) rounded out the scoring in ninth place at 25:49.87, and Joshua Mercado (Citrus Heights, Calif.) and freshman Faris Sakallah (Chantilly, Va.) also joined on the all-conference team in 10th place and 11th place, respectively.

The Tribe's 14-straight wins is tied for the second-longest active streak in the nation and tied for sixth-longest ever, behind only Iona's 23 in a row in the MAAC and tied with Wisconsin's 14 wins in the Big Ten (the Big Ten meet is Sunday).  Between the CAA and Southern Conference combined, W&M now has 36 conference championships, third-most in NCAA history.  The Tribe's 21 total CAA championships is the most-ever for a men's team in conference history, and second overall behind the W&M women's tennis team (22).

William and Mary will take next week off to host the annual Massey Cancer Center 5K, which has raised more than $100,000 for cancer research and treatment at MCV's Massey Center over the years.  The run/walk fundraiser will begin at 5:15 p.m. at Zable Stadium next Friday, Nov. 8, and participants and donors are still welcome to sign-up and pledge at Massey5k.com.  The Tribe's next championship race will come on Friday, Nov. 15, at the Southeast Region Championships in Charlottesville.
