9/24: Greater Louisville Classic

Eight Bearcat runners competed in the Greater Louisville (KY) Classic, earning a 19th place finish among 35 teams, including many NCAA-Division I schools.

Saint Vincent finished ahead of three top NAIA schools that are ahead of the Bearcats in the national rankings -- the University of Cumberland (21st), Roberts Wesleyan (23rd) and Taylor University.

Matt Robson led SVC's runners with a time of 25:54, good for 54th overall. Adam Smith (97th, 26:33), Nate Sylvester (131st, 26:56), Wayne Hooper (142nd, 27:07), Thad Pajak (148th, 27:11), Carl Isenberg (201st, 27:50), Nick Stelitano (217th, 28:12) and Pat Hauser (254th, 28:57) completed the SVC lineup.

In all, 306 runners competed, and the overall team event was won by the University of Tennessee, followed by Louisville and the US Naval Academy.

11/19: NAIA National Championship

The Saint Vincent Bearcats finished 20th among 28 teams competing in the NAIA National Cross Country Championships in Kentucky.

Virginia Intermont won the overall team title, while Saint Vincent was among four American Mideast Conference teams that competed -- Malone College finished 7th, Cedarville University finished 14th, while Shawnee State University was 21st.

Senior Matt Robson was SVC's top runner, finishing 71st overall with a time of 25:53 for the five-mile distance. SVC's other runners were: Nate Sylvester (127th, 26:34), Wayne Hooper (129th, 26:34), Adam Smith (131st, 26:35), Thad Pajak (146th, 26:44), Carl Isenberg (220th, 27:38) and Pat Hauser (246th, 28:31). A total of 261 of the nation's best runners competed.

11/5: AMC Meet & National Qualifier

The Saint Vincent Bearcats finished third among 13 schools in the American Mideast Conference Cross Country Championship, held at Shawnee State University in Ohio.

SVC finished with 87 points, just behind second place Shawnee State (82), but ahead of Cedarville University (4th, 94 points), the #16 ranked team in the nation. Malone College (22 points) won the team title.

The Bearcats entered the day ranked #21 in the NAIA, and Coach Andy Herr is hopeful that their strong showing today, combined with their national ranking, will earn the team an at-large bid to the National Tournament later this month.

Matt Robson led the way for SVC by finishing 9th overall with a time of 26:33 for the 5-mile distance. Wayne Hooper was second-best for Saint Vincent, finishing 14th in 26:55. Both Robson and Hooper were named to the All-AMC Second Team for their efforts.

SVC's other top runners were Adam Smith (15th, 26:57), Nate Sylvester (19th, 27:09), Thad Pajak (31st, 27:47), Carl Isenberg (47th, 28:13) and Alex Krupey (50th, 28:21). Smith earned Honorable Mention honors from the AMC.

Roberts Wesleyan College (128 points) rounded out the top five, followed by Walsh (155), Geneva (202), Houghton (228), Rio Grande (257), Notre Dame College (313), Tiffin (319), Point Park (348) and Daemen (359).

10/15: Penn State National Open

The Saint Vincent Bearcats competed against some of the top NCAA-Division I programs in the nation in the Penn State Open in State College.

The Bearcats finished 33rd among 37 teams over the 5.2 mile course.

Matt Robson was SVC's top runner, covering the distance in 26:59. Other top Bearcat runners were Nate Sylvester (27:09), Adam Smith (27:41), Pat Hauser (27:45), Thad Pajak (28:05), Wayne Hooper (28:11) and Alex Krupey (28:32).

Coach Andy Herr was pleased with the results, saying that you need to read into them to see the progress that the Bearcats have made. "We weren't that far behind the other schools," he noted. "Penn State was 10th, and they ran exactly one minute per man faster than we did. This was by far the best race we have had this season. At Louisville, our top five averaged 26:44 per man. Today, we were 26:27 per man at five miles, and this course is at least 20-30 seconds slower than Louisville because of the hills."
