Three Knights and one Lady Knight took to the trails of the Flanagan Campus cross country course with a dual meet run off with the Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) on Thursday.
 
The Knights’ Bobby Allen (Cranston, RI) covered the 3.05 mile course in a time of 15 minutes 36 seconds to finish the race first.  David Palkovic (Middletown, RI) ran the course in 18:33 good for fourth place and Marciano Brunette (Narragansett. RI) placed fifth in a time of 18:46.

Head Coach Gregg Cornell commented after the race “Individually CCRI runners are coming along nicely and will keep getting stronger as the season progresses.”
