Both the men’s and women’s cross country teams took America East Championship titles last week, a school first. On Oct. 27 the women’s team won its sixth straight title and the men’s team took it’s first title in school history.

The last time such a sweep occurred was in 2003, when both New Hampshire men’s and women’s teams won the title.

Sophomore Eric Speakman was the first of four male Seawolves to finish in the top 15, with a time of  25:11.43. He is the first SBU runner to win the individual title since Tim Hodge did in 2008.

Juniors Daniel Denis and Carlos Roa, as well as freshman Mitchell Kun, also placed in the top 15.

Junior Samuel Kimmey was the final scorer for the Seawolves, finishing 28th with a time of 26.34.71.

On the women’s side, all five scorers finished in the top 12.

Junior Olivia Burne took fourth, leading the Seawolves with a time of 16:58.37.

Cleo Boyd, a freshman whose debut for the Seawolves was the Championship race, finished fifth in 16:59.17.

The Seawolves next race is Nov. 9 in Madison, Conn. at the NCAA Regional Championships.
