9/16/2017 11:50:00 AM | Men's Cross Country

Riverside, CA—The UC Riverside Men's Cross Country Team finished in 11th-place at the 37th Annual UC Riverside Cross Country Invitational. Redshirt sophomore Arman Irani finished in 20th-place with a time of 24:51.3. The Highlanders finished with a team score of 264.

"I felt like our guys competed really well today. We're really young, and so this is a big time learning experience for them," Head Coach Robert Hanson said. "I felt Arman did a great job at our group battling at the front of our group. This is a great dress rehearsal for us heading into the rest of the season."
