ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – Jared Wright led three runners from Dominican men's cross country at the Lewis Conference Crossover featuring many of the top runners and teams in all of the NCAA Division II.
 
Wright ran well in the cold morning air of the Midwest as he averaged a 4:55 mile throughout the 8k. Wright was in a close race with Jeret Gillingham of Western Washington as the two were neck and neck down the final stretch. Gillingham was able to gain the advantage as Wright finished 17th in a time of 24:30.4, 1.4 seconds behind Gillingham. Wright finished with the third best time for runners from the West Region.
 
 Jacob Potere outkicked Carter Leak of Purdue Northwest down the stretch as he overcame an illness earlier in the week to finish 124th with a time of 26:16.1. Stefan Mueller also competed for the Penguins but had to withdraw early and did not finish.
 
Dominican will race next at the Santa Clara Bronco Invite on Saturday at Baylands Park in Sunnyvale, California.
