THE RUNDOWN  
DBU dominated from the gun to the tape, capturing the inaugural Hill Cross Country Classic with an impressive 17-point performance. Blinn Community College finished second with 60 points, while Texas Lutheran placed third with 116. 
 

At the front of the field, Williamson broke away in the later stages of the race to secure second place in 26:05.14. He was followed closely by Isaac Pendley (3rd, 26:22.02), Noah Joy (4th, 26:23.01), and Graham Scott (5th, 26:23.07). David Salas rounded out DBU's scoring five with an eighth-place finish in 26:42.77. 
 

DBU's dominance continued with five more Patriots earning top-20 finishes: CJ Hobbs (10th, 26:47.63), Aidan Killian (12th, 26:50.18), Layton Ybarra (14th, 26:59.7), Ryker Haivala (16th, 27:08.24), and Grayson Klosowski (19th, 27:17.11). 
 

Hosted on Hill College's campus, the course wound across grassy fields between campus buildings and onto a dirt trail along the outskirts of the property before looping back past a small duck pond. With varied surfaces and uneven terrain, the slower times compared to the Texas A&M Invite were no surprise. 

 

With another race in the books, DBU now turns its attention to hosting the Old Glory Gallop at AP Ranch in Fort Worth. The premier cross country meet in the DFW Metroplex, this year's event is expected to feature more than 40 teams from across the nation. The women's 5k is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, October 11.
