GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. —The Ohio Northern men's cross country team finished 11th of 23 teams at the Calvin (Mich.) Knight Invitational Saturday morning at the Gainey Athletic Complex.

The Polar Bears (15-11 overall) finished with 228 points in the field, which was made up primarily of NCAA Division II schools.

Senior All-American Ian McVey (Stow/Munroe Falls) finished third of 302 runners overall and was first among Division III runners in 25:06 for the 8,000-meter course.

Junior Jordan Green (Wooster) was second for ONU and 42nd overall in 26:32, senior Spencer Schulze (St. Henry) was 49th in 26:37 and freshman Caden Sauerbrey (Dresden/Tri-Valley) was 56th overall in 26:45.

"We had some good things happen, and some inconsistencies, but we'll have that with a young group," ONU head coach Jason Maus said. "This was our first 8k, so we have to build off our experience."

Tom Goforth of Saginaw Valley State (Mich.) won the individual title in 24:53.

The Polar Bears will take to the course again on Sept. 15 at the pre-Regional Meet at Shelbyville, Ind.
