King Cheserek Blows The Doors Off Tiernan In Last Mile, Syracuse Stuns Colorado:
Title #3 matches Henry Rono, Steve Prefontaine, and Gerry Lindgren for the most all-time, but none of those greats were able to string together a run like Cheserek, who now owns nine career individual NCAA titles between XC, indoor, and outdoor track.
Cheserek was challenged by an aggressive Patrick Tiernan of Villanova, who led the Oregon superstar through 8,000m in a very quick 22:51. The Aussie set the tone of the race throughout, as he and King Ches broke away around the 5,000m mark. Ultimately though, as has become customary in the NCAA for three years now, Cheserek would prove too much in the final 1.5K as the Nova junior would settle for second in 29:11.1.

Orange sophomore Philo Germano (39th, 30:29.5) and junior Joel Hubbard (47th, 30:31.5) rounded out the scoring to total 81 points for the champs, who hadn’t even finished on the NCAA podium since 1957.

Senior Morgan Pearson (25th, 30:16.1), freshman John Dressel (26th, 30:16.4), junior Ben Saarel (31st, 30:19.8), and senior Connor Winter (33rd, 30:21.7) would complete the scoring for Mark Wetmore’s Buffaloes, who finished on the podium for the fifth straight season. Ultimately, Syracuse’s strength up front was just too much for Colorado, as the Orange had a 22-point advantage through each team’s third scorers.
