September 17, 2022 | Men's Cross Country
IRVINE, Calif. - The UC Irvine men's cross country team came in fifth overall at the UC Riverside 8K Invitational Saturday morning at the UCR Ag/Ops Course.
UCI finished with 224 points to place ahead of Pac-12 schools Arizona (230) and Arizona State (264). Cal Poly claimed the team title.
It was the Anteaters' second top-five finish in as many meets this year. It was also the second time they cracked the top-eight in their last six appearances at the UCR Invite, beating out their seventh-place showing in 2016.
Nine 'Eaters established a personal record in the team's first 8K of the season. Sophomore Joshua Schuld led the way as he took 19th in a field of 266 runners. Schuld clocked a lifetime-best 24:15.0, which ranks fourth in program history.
Sophomore Lukas Amare was UC Irvine's next finisher in 33rd place with the sixth-fastest time in school history at 24:23.5. Sophomore Zeid Hussain also broke into the Anteaters' all-time top-10 with a personal-best 24:35.4.
Sophomores Jacob Bustamante (24:42.5) and Cameron Smith (24:49.7) rounded out UCI's scorers with big personal records as both ran their first sub 25-minute 8K race in their young collegiate careers.
Also establishing 8K bests were sophomores Juan Sanchez (25:22.4) and Henry McClish (25:31.2).
UCI will be off from competition until Saturday, Oct. 15, when it heads to Santa Clara for the Bronco Invitational.
