...men’s side, junior Dan Chenoweth continued a stellar year for the Crimson, as he dominated another Ivy League field to finish first. The third-year runner posted a 25:09.2 on the 8K course, 10.5 seconds better than his closest competitor, Brown’s Christian Escareno.

As witnesses later verified, the 23-year-old had jumped out of a crowd of spectators about a half-mile from the finish line and simply sprinted to the end.
