LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – The Lincoln University cross country teams competed in the Jack St. Clair Invitational Saturday at Belmont Plateau, Philadelphia, Pa.
The men's team placed 14th of 15 teams, while the women's team came in eighth of nine teams.
For the second consecutive meet, freshman Clayton McLaren (Brockton, Mass./Brimmer and May) was the first Lincoln runner to complete the 8K course, placing 60th in 35:01.9.
