With the varsity sqaud resting up for next weekends All New England Championships to be held at Franklin Park, the Jumbo's second seven represented the team well at the Keene St. Invitational securing a third place finish.

Leading the Tufts squad to the line was junior Anyenda Inyagwa finishing in 13th place in a time of 27:46. Close on his heels were senior Chad Uy in 27:51 and junior Jesse Dunklee, returning to the team and coming off injury, running a strong 27:58. Those times were good for 15th and 17th places respectively. Rounding out the scoring five for the Jumbos squad were senior Dan Sullivan (28:18, 22nd place) and freshman Ben Silver (28:39, 30th place) both having very solid performances on an uneven Keene course. Closing hard over the last two miles were juniors Alex Bloom and Rony Jacques running times of 29:42 and 30:17.

The Tufts squad has worked on racing together in packs and today's race was another fine example of that as Inyagwa, Uy and Dunklee all ran in a tight group for 13th, 15th and 17th places and Sullivan, Silver and sophomore Andrew Lee (28:43) ran in a strong pack for the majority of the 5 mile race.

It was a spectacular fall day for a cross country race with balmy temperatures and bright sunshine and the Jumbos return home to rest up for next weeks All NE meet with another strong showing under their belts.
