Villanova Men Come 8th at Pre-Nationals
McEntee DNFs Due to Nausea

The Villanova men finished with 338 places today in Louisville, Kentucky at the cross country Pre-Nationals. That finish was influenced heavily by the nausea and vomiting that hit the team's #1 runner Sam McEntee at the 5K mark. McEntee tried to soldier on, but was eventually forced to DNF. Villanova's team total thereby gained at least 100 extra places, as Villanova's #6 runner now had to be included in the team total. With a healthy McEntee, Villanova likely finishes 4th in the team standings. Even without McEntee, Villanova beat Big East and regional rival Georgetown. The men were led by senior Mathew Mildenhall who ran a strong race, finishing 32nd overall. The men finished with a 46 second 1-5 spread over the 8K course.
