After some tune-up cross country meets, the first big collegiate invitational meet will take place this weekend. The 42nd annual St. Olaf Invitational Cross Country Meet will be run in Northfield on Saturday morning.Many of the area Division III schools will attend this meet, as well as some Division II squads. Most of the DIII schools will return to St. Olaf for the Central Regional race on November 10th to determine the qualifiers for the National Meet.
The host school is often in the hunt for the team title and this year will be no different. Tell us where St. Olaf will finish in their Invitational with this question...

My Answer: Yes

Twenty-five players answered correctly. Mike Mason extended his lead and now has twenty-four points. There are four players with twenty-two points - Ryan Aylesworth, Gloria Jansen, Evan Roberts and Heather Jelen.
