Virginia men's cross country win ACC title; Foerster leads Cavs, finishes fourth overall

The men's cross country team earned its first ACC Championship in 21 years Monday. No. 18 Virginia defeated second place-finisher Florida State by eight points.

For their strong performances, Jan Foerster, Andrew Dumm, Soeren Lindner, Ryan Foster, Andy Biladeau, and Alex Tatu each garnered All-Conference honors. Foerster led the Cavaliers and finished fourth overall with a time of 24:00.7. Dumm was right on his heels, crossing the finish line at 24:00.9.

Biladeau's eighth-place time of 24:20.8 won him the ACC Freshman of the Year award.

The women's team fared worse than their male counterpart despite a strong performance by Emily Harrison. Harrison finished tenth overall and won All-ACC honors, but the Cavaliers placed sixth in the team competition. Kara Scanlin was next, totaling a time of 19:57.8, good for 16th individually.
