Mechanicsville, Va. - A hot and humid morning didn't stop the Spiders cross country team from having a strong showing in their first meet of the season on the A-10 Championship course.
The men's 5K race started at 9:15am and the men were strong out of the gate. Junior Miles Clikeman took second with time of 15:10.0 with freshman Peter Borger (15:41.2) and senior Johnny Hogue (15.46.2) behind him taking eighth and tenth respectively to round out top three Richmond finishers.
The gun for the women's two mile race sounded at 9:50am and the women quickly settled into a strong group at the front alongside runners from William & Mary and George Mason.
