Five Hawks earn top-10 finishes; MSV's Charlton wins first place, Murphy Coach of the Year

11/10/2006 - (Riverdale, NY) - Five members of the Cooper Union Men's Cross Country team finished in the top-10 as the Hawks dominated Friday's Hudson Valley Men's Athletic Conference (HVMAC) Cross Country Championships held at Van Cortlandt Park in Riverdale, New York. CU earned 33 team points, finishing well ahead of runner-up Mount Saint Vincent (44), the Pratt Institute (57) and St. Joseph's (124). The Webb Institute competed, however due to the fact that they had less than five competitors, the Webbies were ineligible for a team result.

Cooper Union won the HVMAC Cross Country Champion with a dominant performance that saw five Hawks earn top-10 finishes. CU scored 33 team points, followed by Mount Saint Vincent (44), Pratt (57), and St. Joseph's (124).

Mount Saint Vincent's Derek Charlton finished the race in first place, earning the HVMAC individual championship in a time of 30:43. Nick Foley from the Pratt Institute was the individual runner-up, finishing in 30:50. From there, Cooper Union won five of the next seven places as Logan Yu finished third, Steven Walsh sixth, Daniel Baggot sevent, David Nummey eighth, and Andrew Wong ninth. Also earning medals for top-10 finishes were Lester Owens from Mount Saint Vincent (fourth place), Cory Gerard-Little from the Pratt Institute (fifth place), and Jeff Hopkins from Mount Saint Vincent (10th place).
