What They Said:
Head coach
Chris Cameron: "Overall, we received some good performances from our men today. Moving forward, we'll need to tighten the gap between the No. 1-5 runners, and the No. 5-7 runners. I'm really pleased with the effort, and now we'll have a good block of training – three weeks – before we're back in action."
How It Happened:
- Davis finished in 17th overall with a time of 26.03.8, and was Merrimack's top runner of the day. He also ranked ahead of any runner from Bryant, the only other NEC institution competing at Saturday's meet
