The Bellarmine men's and women's cross country teams both finished second in today's Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships held today in Evansville, Ind., and a total of nine Bellarmine runners earned All-GLVC honors by finishing in the top 15.

The University of Southern Indiana, the host school, won both championships with the women's team nipping the Knights by just six points.

In the women's race, the 17th-ranked Bellarmine team placed four runners in the top 15 including Angela Musk, who placed second overall, and Emily Frith, who earned Freshman of the Year honors with her third place finish.  Also earning All-GLVC distinction were Maggie Wagner (9th place) and Kelsey Love (15th).  

In the men's race the No. 6 Screaming Eagles team had the top three finishers while the No. 17 Knights had five runners in the top 15.  Bellarmine was led by Jordan Parayil and Nathan Dotterweich, who finished fifth and sixth respectively. Also earning All-GLVC honors were Robert Sandlin, Jr., Dominic Perronie, and Alex Jones.

The Bellarmine coaching staff was pleased with their teams' races.   “We ran our race and had some outstanding performances from our girls,” said women's coach Kris Horton adding, “USI just ran a great race and edged us out.  We are still in good position to qualify for the NCAAs.”

Director of Cross Country and Track Jim Vargo also tipped his hat to the host Screaming Eagles. “We had a solid day.  Our men were closing, but just could not get there as USI ran well.”

Both teams will advance to the NCAA Regionals, which will be hosted by Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., on Saturday Nov. 5.
