College of DuPage men's cross country took their talents to Warrenville, I.L. for the Dodds Invite Saturday, Sept. 20. 

The squad placed 12th out of 20 on Saturday, with all five scoring runners achieving either personal or season bests. 

Adriano Quintero led COD with a massive personal record, finishing 42nd out of 251 runners in 27:08, nearly 40 seconds faster than his previous best. Zachary Bacci followed with a PR of over a minute in 28:49, while David Aviles ran a season best in 28:58. Valentino Diaz trimmed nearly 50 seconds off his PR with a 29:10 finish, and Ryan Leurck (30:07) closed the scoring with a PR of more than a minute. 

"The men raced well. This is a young team, and we're dealing with a little illness and some aches from back-to-back races," head coach Mallory Dominguez said. "Even so, our entire scoring five was able to notch a PR or season best. I'm looking forward to a down week of training before we gear up for the Seminole Valley Stampede on Oct. 4."
