No. 14 Iowa State Wins Midwest Regional Title
11.10.2017 | Cross Country
AMES, Iowa – The No. 14 Iowa State men's team continued its historic postseason run at the Midwest Regional Championships, securing their first ever regional title. With their victory, the men have qualified for the 2017 NCAA Championships.
Iowa State will be making its second consecutive championships appearance, which marks the first time that it's done so since 2008-09.
ISU tallied 69 team points, defeating second-place finishers Oklahoma State (75) by five points. All five of the Cyclone scoring runners earned All-Region honors, finishing in the top-25.
Today was also the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series showdown with Iowa, as the Cyclone men and women both claimed the points over Iowa. After five events, Iowa State leads this season's competition 6-5.
A late push from redshirt junior Dan Curts elevated the Cyclones. At the 8k mark, the Cyclones were in fourth as a team, and Curts was in 13th individually. A strong final stretch for the Ellsworth, Maine, native put him across the finish line in third place at a time of 29:12.97.
Sophomore Andrew Jordan finished just steps behind Curts, taking fourth in 29:13.37. Sophomore Stanley Langat was 18th at 29:37.74, while senior Nathan Rodriguez grabbed 20th individually with a 10k time of 29:40.45. Freshman Milo Greder ran a great race, finishing 24th in a time of 29:42.60.
Junior John Nownes finished 42nd in 20:02.88, while Thomas Pollard rounded out the Cyclone runners, finishing 47th in 30:07.24.
The men will be joined by the women, who also won the Midwest Regional, at the NCAA Championships in Louisville, Kentucky. The championships are set for next Saturday, Nov. 18th at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park.
