Joe Ellefson, with his first place finish, led the Crusader Men's Cross Country team to a second place finish in the Wolfpack Invitational.  Ellefson finished the race with an impressive 17 min 17.5 sec. time.  He won the race by a large margin, with second place finishing 21 seconds behind. The Crusader Cross Country team continues to hope for big things out of this young scholar athlete and the fact that Ellefson is only a freshman fills Crusader fans with excitement to see what is in store in his four years of Christendom racing.
