RIVERSIDE, Calif. – The Regis University men's cross country team traveled to the west coast and competed in the University of California-Riverside Highlander Invitational.

The team placed 25th overall, and Judd Ogle, Eric Casey, John Murphy, and Aaron Bennett all posted personal bests. William Oakes posted a season best time as well.

"The weather was absolutely perfect and they were running against some of the best in the country from every division, which was awesome," said head coach John Esquibel. "I was very impressed with how we ran today."

How It Happened: Third-year Judd Ogle led the Rangers in Riverside. Ogle posted a personal best time of 27 minutes, 2.5 seconds and placed 178th overall.

Freshman Eric Casey followed behind Ogle with a 191st palce finish and crossed the finish line at 27:27.9.
