SOUTH BEND, IN. (September 28, 2018) – A pair of Cowboys placed among the top 10 finishers out of a field of more than 140 runners at the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational to lead Wyoming’s Cross Country Team to a second-place finish with 105 points. The Cowboys finished ahead of host-school Notre Dame and nationally-ranked No. 28 Furman.
For the second time in as many meets junior Paul Roberts led the way for the Cowboys as the CSU-Pueblo transfer finished the five-mile course third overall with a time of 23:44.7. Junior Christopher Henry joined Roberts in the top 10 with an eighth-place finish as he crossed the line at Burke Golf Course in 24:05.5.
