SARATOGA, N.Y.—The Hobart cross country team placed 18th out of 20 teams at the Saratoga Invitational last weekend, hosted by RPI. Two Hobart runners recorded season-best times in the race.

First-year Tom Harty (Portsmouth Abbey School/Norfolk, Mass.) was the top finisher for the Statesmen, completing the 8-kilometer course in a season-best time of 28:55. He beat his previous-best time of 29:07 to earn 118th place out of 203 runners.

Classmate Andrew Ockenden (Conestoga/Paoli, Pa.) took 124th place, while senior Mike Guglielmo (Northern Highlands/Allendale, N.J.) finished 145th. Guglielmo’s time of 30:02 was also a personal-best.

Hobart will return to action on Oct. 28 when it hosts the CCOC Championships, beginning at noon.
