EUGENE, Ore. – Paced by a pair of top-20 individual efforts, the Men and Women of Oregon finished in 10^th and 14^th place, respectively, Friday morning at the loaded Nuttycombe Invitational in Madison, Wis. Junior Cooper Teare was 12^th overall in the men's race while redshirt senior Susan Ejore crossed in 17^th place for the women.

Between the two races, there were a combined 40 top-30 teams—20 in each—entered at Nuttycombe.

Teare navigated the 8K Zimmer Championship Course in 23:51.9, and was followed in the Oregon lineup by James West (24:21.8) in 58^th place and Cole Hocker (24:23.9) in 64^th overall. This was also the Ducks' top three at the Bill Dellinger Invitational with West finishing just ahead of Teare on their home course.

Carter Christman (24:30.5, 87^th) and Jackson Mestler (24:38.0, 106^th) rounded out the scoring lineup. It marks Christman's second appearance in Oregon's top five this season; he was the fourth UO runner at the season-opening Ash Creek Invitational.

Earlier in the day, redshirt junior Jack Yearian was the top collegiate runner and finished second overall in the 'B' race. He finished in a time of 24:24.6, nearly 10 seconds faster than his 8K time at the Dellinger meet in late September.
