Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 2384772, member: 41"] [MEDIA=twitter]931946413570842624[/MEDIA] A hard kick over the final kilometer to distance himself from a pair of Northern Arizona contenders provided the historic finish for [URL='http://www.cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=13794']Justyn Knight[/URL], delivering the first individual NCAA Championship in program history. Knight's finish is the third top-four finish for the Vaughn, Ontario native, building off last year's runner-up performance to capture the crown in Louisville. Knight hung around the leaders for the duration of the meet, lurking in sixth for the majority of the first portion of the race. Between the fourth and sixth kilometer, a group of four broke off in front, with Knight once again making his move toward the front. With two kilometers left, he dropped Alabama's Gilbert Kigen and pulled past Northern Arizona's Tyler Day with one kilometer left. Over the final distance he pushed past NAU's Matthew Baxter to secure the title, crossing the 10k distance in 29:00.1. As a team, the Syracuse men finished 13th with 406 points.

[URL='http://www.cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=13791']Dominic Hockenbury[/URL] (31:36.3) and [URL='http://www.cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=13782']Iliass Aouani[/URL] (32:31.3) were the other two runners for the Orange men. [URL='http://www.cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=13803']Paige Stoner[/URL] also delivered history for the women. Her 17th place finish was the best finish by a woman in program history, becoming just the second ever All-American for the 'Cuse women. Stoner's time was 19:52.0 to lead the Orange to a 26th place finish, two spots ahead of their pre-race ranking. [URL='http://www.cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=13796']Shannon Malone[/URL] also had a strong day, taking 73rd with a time of 20:30.0.
