The Saint Leo men’s cross country team has advanced to the NCAA Division II National Championships after a second-place finish at the Division II South Region Championships on Nov. 5. At regionals, the Lions placed four runners among the top 20 finishers in the 10K race: freshman Ronald Cheserek (second, 31:43.69); senior Rafal Matuszczak (sixth, 31:55.71); senior Niclas Bez (17th, 32:46.91); and junior Anthony Deleva (18th, 32:54.21).
“We have a few adjustments we need to make before nationals, and I think that will put us in a good spot to do some big things,” said Lions head coach Kent Reiber. The national championships will be on Nov. 19, at The Abbey Course at Saint Leo.
