HUDSONVILLE, Mich. -- Battling a driving rain and wet conditions, sophomore/freshman James Reichardt (Spring Lake, Mich./Spring Lake HS) paced the University of Michigan men's cross country team to a fourth-place team performance (54 points) at the Michigan Intercollegiate on Friday (Oct. 8). Reichardt placed eighth in the men's 4,000-meter contest, clocking a time of 12:05.
Rounding out the Maize and Blue scorers with top-25 finishes were sophomore/freshman Brian Les (Elm Grove, Wis./Catholic Memorial HS), junior/sophomore Joe Schramski (Troy, Mich./Avondale HS) and sophomore/freshman Sebastien Lounis (Bloomfield Hills, Mich./Seaholm HS), who placed 11th, 13th and 22nd, respectively. Les and Schramski ran together across the line, finishing just three seconds apart at 12:12 and 12:15 while Lounis registered a time of 12:20 in his U-M cross country debut.
Freshman Seth Thibodeau (Milford, Mich./Milford HS) and junior/sophomore Ryan Gall (Livonia, Mich./Churchill HS) also competed for Michigan with 29th- and 32nd-place performances at 12:29 and 12:50, respectively.
