Qualifying for Nike Cross Nationals is never a simple feat, but it's definitely easier if you can have three runners in the top ten.
Yesterday, led by senior Conor Clifford (15:58), Christian Brothers Academy comfortably punched their ticket to Portland, OR, winning the NXR Northeast team title with just 59 points.
Thanks to Clifford's and Joe Barrett's (16:06) 6-7 finish, accompanied by Jack Falkowski (16:14) in 9th, CBA cruised to their second straight title.
With Alex Mastroly (16:31) and Wyatt Falkowski (16:35) rounding out the scoring in 22nd and 29th, the pack attack and their 36 second spread was simply too much to overcome for the entirety of the field.
Next week, they'll contend for a national title on the Glendoveer Golf Course.
