BROOKEVILLE, N.Y. - FDU Cross Country traveled back to the LIU Post Campus Saturday morning to take part in the METS Championships, where the FDU Men's Team stole the show. The Knights finished second at the meet, led by Kidus Zeleke who took second place individually. 

Zeleke ran the Men's 8k in 25:23.61, his personal best time, once again being the meet's runner up for the Men's Race. Dylan Manning recorded a time of 25:46.31, which placed him inside the top ten, giving him sixth place, with a new personal best time. 

Three Knights ran in a pack throughout the race, working together throughout the eight kilometers. The pack of Trevor Ehrlicher, Brandon Barreto, and Liam Schwabik all finished close to each other, taking 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, to secure a phenomenal top five for the Knights and sealing second place. Every runner for the Men's team this afternoon ran a new personal best in a very successful morning for the Men's team. 

The Women's team saw two new personal bests from Kayla Smith and Aisha Williams, as the Knights took 7th in the race.
