BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – The No. 17 Olivet Nazarene University men's cross country team posted a near-perfect score to take down their home meet, the Midwest Classic, Friday evening at the Aspen Ridge Golf Course in Bourbonnais, Ill.
The Tigers finished with a score of 19 points, just four points shy of the perfect 15, to win the eight-team event. Junior harrier David Olmos won the 8k race with a time of 25:53.8, being the only runner to clock in under the 26-minute threshold.
