Westminster Men's Cross Country Chosen Fifth in Preseason Poll

ST. LOUIS - Westminster men's cross country was chosen fifth in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference preseason poll, voted on by the league's head coaches.

Westminster looks to stay consistent this season with a young group led by first-year Head Coach Andrew Green.

The Blue Jays were a young squad in 2018 and will look to the leadership of sophomore Joseph Labitska, who has taken on a strong role within the program according to Green. Labitska was the team's top finisher at the SLIAC Championship a season ago. He is joined by newcomers Sam and Dalton Moore, who look to bring in a dominant freshmen presence.
