ANDERSON, S.C. – Anderson men's cross country team placed 8^th in one of the biggest Division II meets of the regular season at the Lucian Rosa Invitational in Kenosha, Wis. on Saturday morning.
 
"Our men had to deal with a lot of adversity this week with sickness plaguing us." said head coach Kevin Eagle. "I am extremely proud of how they raced when not feeling 100%. After beating several national ranked teams, we know we're in a good spot once we have everyone back. We have two weeks to lock in and get healthy before we tie the line again."
 
Finishing first for the Trojans and 28^th in the field out of 220, was redshirt-senior Spain Vaughan (Greer, S.C.) while Elliot Dotson finished 59^th (25:13:84) and Will Cronin coming in 64^th (26:02.77).
 
Scoring next for the Black and Gold was Grayson (Gibbons Simpsonville, S.C.) finishing 66^th (26:03.34), with Nathan Smith (Danielsville, G.A.) following closely behind finishing 69^th (26:07.38). Rounding out the scoring for the Trojans was Joey Tindale (Rock Hill, S.C.) finishing 77^th (26:16.55) and Jack Barrett (Greenville, S.C.) 98^th (26:34.95).
 
The Trojans are back in action on Saturday, Oct. 11 at the UAH Charger Invitational in Huntsville, Ala. for the last regular season meet before the SAC Championships.
