That’s what cross country is all about, and we actually enjoyed [the challenge].” Harvard’s male competitors did not express as much enthusiasm for the sloppy course, but achieved equal success in the 10K race. Sophomore Dan Chenoweth matched his classmate’s accomplishment, finishing sixth overall to earn his own trip to Indiana. The Crimson’s top runner crossed the finish line in 31:29.8, followed...
