MORAGA, Calif. — The Saint Mary's men's cross country team is headed east to Sacramento for the NCAA West Regionals following an impressive performance and third-place team finish at the West Coast Conference Championships.

O'Connell crossed the finish line with a time of 24:30.2, while Terrill finished in 24:33.7. Their finishes marked the two highest individual finishes in program history at the WCC Championship and earned them First Team All-WCC honors.
