WILMINGTON, Ohio—Both Tiger Cross Country programs made the short trip to Wilmington to take part in the Jenna Strong Fall Classic on Friday.

The women's program finished 9^th out of the 38 teams running the 5K course, while the men finished in 22^nd out of the 38 teams running the 8K course.

The Tigers were led by Alexis Gray who took home 11^th place individual honors on Friday, after completing the 5K in 18:28.2. Katherine Phillips finished 34^th out of the 366 runners at 19:14.2. Lorin Conti was not far behind at 38^th, with a time of 19:17.1.

On the men's side, senior Jon Osman finished the 8K in 25:46.7, good enough for a 21^st place finish out of the 395 runners in action. Charles Rodeheffer came in just behind Osman at 25:57.0, good enough for 29^th.

Both programs return to action at the NCAC Championships hosted by DePauw on October 30.
