Princeton, N.J. — Under crisp autumn air, teams descended onto Princeton's "Meadows" course for the Fall Classic. Depth and timing would prove decisive with Big Red men claiming 12th among 31 teams,.

Men's Recap (8,000m)

From the gun, the pace was assertive, with teams pushing hard through the early meadows stretches before the course funneled into tighter woodland turns. Our squad leaned on a tightly packed top five to battle through the surges.

Scoring order & splits:
26. Tyler Canaday (SR)  — 23:42.2
32. Aryan Abbaraju (JR) — 23:47.0
35. Griffin Mandirola (SO) — 23:51.8
150. Zach Leader (FR) — 24:50.6
153. Colin Martens (SO) — 24:51.3

Their tight spread — about 70 seconds between first and the fifth scorer — grounded the team's 12th-place finish among 31 squads.
