Georgetown, Notre Dame, and Army finished one-two-three in the varsity team standings with Michigan State a surprissingly poor sixth. For Georgetown it was two cross-country championships in a row, even though their star harrier, Joe Lynch, has graduated. Lynch was the record holder until O'Reilly put on his big show...
