LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -
Junior Adam Ambrus (Shamong, N.J.) finished in the top 50 to guide the Terrapin men's cross country to a 14th place finish at Saturday's NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships in Lock Haven, Pa. Ambrus came in at No. 43 in the field of 184 runners with a time of 31:41 in the 10,000-meter competition.
Villanova and Georgetown finished first and second, respectively, earning bids to the NCAA Championship race on Nov. 24 in Waterloo, Iowa. The individuals guaranteeing themselves spots in Iowa were Dan Mazzocco of Penn State, Andre Laboy of St. Joseph's, Ryan Sheehan of St. Francis (Pa.), and Tristan Colangelo of Princeton. Should the athlete's team earn an at-large bid to the national meet, the next individual whose team did not earn a bid will qualify for the national meet.
