LOCK HAVEN, Pa. --- The Geneva College men's cross country placed 11th at the 2022 NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional at the West Branch Cross Country Course in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. The Golden Tornadoes compiled 330 points against the 32-team field.
Sophomore Kevin Arseneaux posted the top time for Geneva at 25:59.1 and finished 23rd overall on the 8,000-meter course. Sophomore Jordan Stack crossed the finish one minute later at 26:53.8 and in 51st place. Senior Josiah Helmer and freshman Eli Eisenberger finished within nine seconds of each other in 27:21.5 and 27:30.3, respectively. Rookie Karter Reath capped the team scoring with a time of 27:58.0.
"I couldn't be happier with our performance today," said Geneva head coach Phil Thompson. "The team had a great day on a very tough and muddy course. Big Kev's finish earned him All-Region honors which is a tough task to accomplish. Now we play the waiting game to see if he earns a bid to the national meet next week. This team is special. They have worked extremely hard and it has paid off. One of the best cross country teams in the Geneva history."
