Rookie Nathaniel Gabor (Amherst, Mass./Amherst-Pelham Regional) finished within a minute of his 8K collegiate best, placing 90th after crossing the line in 35:19. Senior Pat Newsom (South Bend, Ind./John Adams) slid to the Gryphons' No. 4 position for the first time this year, but he helped to pace teammate Bill Chang (Irvine, Calif./Woodbridge) to a personal collegiate best by a two-minute margin.
