Head Coach Dave Thomas' Philadelphia University cross country runners stole the show in the Belmont Classic Invitational Meet, as both the men's and women's team finished in first place. The men were tops among twenty teams, while the women shared top honors with CACC rival Wilmington College; both among the sixteen teams present. Sophomore Shawn D'Andrea paced the Rams, finishing in second place over the 8,000 meter course in a time of 27:40.47. Joining D'Andrea in the top ten overall was fellow sophomore Andrew Piotrowski, who clocked a time of 28:08.01 for seventh position.

On the women's side, true freshman Cassie Cohick once again led the charge for the Lady Rams, with a time of 20:37.90 for the 5,000 meter Belmont Plateau, good for ninth place; while sophomore Faith Anderson came home in 13th place with a time of 21:08.00. The cross country teams resume competition next Saturday on the road at the Goldey-Beacom Invitational, hosted by CACC foe Goldey-Beacom College. That meet takes place at Carousel Park in Wilmington, Del., and gets underway at 10:30 a.m.
