The men’s cross country team brought new hardware to La Salle University’s campus.

The Explorers claimed the Atlantic 10 Conference championship for the 11th time in program history, placing four runners among the top-15 finishers at the Oct. 30 A-10 meet in Cedarville, Ohio.

Taonga Mbambo, ’23, and Ibrahim Kedir, ’22, finished fourth and sixth, respectively. Luke Jaciw-Zurakowsky, ’21, ’22, who won the A-10 individual cross country championship last spring, crossed in 13th place, with Ryan James, ’22, finishing right behind him.

For the Explorers, this makes 11 Atlantic 10 championships in the last 22 years—the most by any program in conference history.
