TULSA, Okla. — The South Dakota State men's cross country team continued its Summit League dominance Saturday at Holland Hall, winning its league-record sixth consecutive conference title.
Gabe Peters claimed the men's Summit League individual title in the 8,000-meter race, clocking a winning time of 24 minutes, 33.25 seconds, which is the fifth-fastest 8K time in league history. Peters also earned all-Summit League recognition for the fifth time.
Adding to the Jackrabbits' six finishers in the top seven spots included Ben Olson, who followed just behind Peters with a time of 24:38.24 for second and Max Selbach took third in 24:39.74.
The next trio of runners included Tom Breuckman, a four-time All-Summit League runner, for fifth place with a time of 24:53.92. Joseph Minor-Williams finished in 24:58.28 for sixth and Daniel Burkhalter took seventh in 25:00.25.
With their team score of 17, South Dakota State easily out-distanced league newcomer St. Thomas with 46 points.
Mason McDonald ran a 25:33.63 for 16th, Alex Auch took 24th with a time of 26:03.77, Michael Schwinghamer finished in 31st in 26:17.22 and Jacob Knodle ran a 26:39.02 for 38th.
The title was the 10th Summit League championship overall for the Jackrabbit men.
