Men's Cross Country's Thomas Slattery was named Atlantic 10 All-Conference after his 10^th-place finish and career-best time, while seven runners in the women's squad finished with career-high times at the 2015 Atlantic 10 Championships.
 
Slattery's time of 24:56.2 was over 20 seconds better than his previous career best at the Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown a month ago and is the second-fastest finish on the team this season. The women's cross country team was paced by Brianna Tevnan's career-best 18:09.8 time and 30^th-place finish, a time that is also the second-fastest on the squad in all competitions this year. This was Tevnan's first competition of the year.
 
Behind Slattery's All-Conference finish were Quincy O'Connor (29^th – 25:17.4), Mike Turi (36^th – 25:23.1), Nik O'Brien (45^th – 25:34), Jonathan Annelli (47^th – 25:39.1), Jake Duckworth (74^th – 26:35.7), Adam Schwenzfeier (78^th – 26:46), Michael Campbell (108^th – new career-high 27:13.8), Louis Santelli (111^th – 27:28.9), and Devin Rocks (124^th – 29:59.3). The Rams finished seventh out of 14 programs with 167 points and an average time of 25:21.96. St. Joseph's took home the team crown, although George Mason's Steven Flynn took home the individual honor, followed by the University of Massachusetts and Davidson.
 
For the women, Tevnan's new career record was followed by Kate McCormack (41^st – 18:27.2), Angelina Grebe (44^th – 18:29.2), Brynna Harum (49^th – 18:35.8), Stephanie Leo (50^th – 18:35.8), Rachel Picard (56^th – 18:39.9), Brianne Roche (69^th – 18:50.6), Kieran Hanrahan (100^th – 19:23.4), Claire Bollnow (106^th – 19:31.7), and Laurel Fisher (116^th – 20:05.1). All times besides Grebe's, Roche's, and Hanrahan's were personal records for the respective runners. La Salle's Morgan Szekely cleared the field by 11 seconds but it was Richmond who edged out Duquesne for the team crown – with 87 points to 88. The Explorers finished in third.
 
The teams now prepare for the NCAA Northeast Regionals in 13 days no November 13. The races will be held at Franklin Park in Boston. Competition is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.
