MORAGA, Calif. - The Saint Mary's men's cross country team is heading to Oregon to compete in the Bill Dellinger Invite for the second time in program history. The 8 kilometer race will begin at 11:15 AM at the Pine Ridge Golf Club in Springfield, Oregon, about 20 minutes north of the University of Oregon's campus.
GAELS RECAP
In their last competition, the Gaels took first out of seventh at the Pacific Invite in Lodi. Zane Jackson was the first runner to cross the finish line with a time of 24:47.5, pacing the Gaels and winning the race individually. Felix Francisco secured third place 8.9 seconds behind Jackson, followed by Eric Martinez finishing seventh and Aidan Donovan coming in at ninth.
Luke Bland and Noah Pagaran finished back-to-back, taking 13th and 14th spot, only one second apart from each other. Curtis Volf and Jacob Moffett secured the 17th and 18th spot with times of 24:47.8 and 25:50.6. Six other Gaels finished in the top 50 in the field of 76 runners.
ABOUT THE COURSE
The Pine Ridge Golf Club [formerly called Springfield Golf Club], one of Oregon's premier golf courses, will be the site of the Bill Dellinger Invitational. Athletes will race entirely on grass and mostly on fairways. The course consists of two relatively flat loops—an outer loop, and a finish loop. The outer loop is approximately 2320 meters in length, and the finishing loop is approximately 1350 meters in length.
Last year on this same course, 10 Gaels competed, including Curtis Volf, Luke Bland, Aidan Donovan and Eric Martinez, who will have a familiarity when running again this season. The race can be streamed here and live results can be found here.
