BRUNSWICK, Maine – Four MIT runners placed in the top 20 overall, as the No. 9 nationally ranked men's cross country team secured a runner-up performance at the Bowdoin College Invitational on Saturday. The meet was a chance for the Cardinal and Gray to preview the course that will host the New England Division III championship later this fall.

Andrew Erickson (Shorewood, Wis.) was the top performer for the Engineers, finishing in 11th place with a time of 27:04.64 on the eight-kilometer course.
