The Malone University men’s cross country team ran at the Louisville Cross Country Classic on Saturday, October 3. The Pioneers finished third out of 13 teams competing.
Zach Fresenko was the top individual finisher for Malone and the Great Midwest. The senior placed seventh out of 119 runners, with an 8K time of 25:10.4.
Fresenko’s time on Saturday marks the top 8K time posted so far this season throughout the Great Midwest.
Fresenko has had an impressive career, as he is a three-time All-Conference First Team selection. He was named Great Midwest Freshman of the Year in his debate season at Malone.
Fresenko’s performances at the Royals Challenge and the Great Midwest Championship back in 2019 both rank in the top 25 all time individual 8K finishes in conference history.
The Pioneers will compete next at the Great Midwest Championships on October 24, hosted by Tiffin University.
