Highlanders prevailed in their ever lasting preparation for the upcoming AMC

(Salamanca, NY) finished 25th with a personal best of 20:58. Houghton's
women finished 5th out of 9 complete teams.
The sun came out for the men's 8k race, but the course was such a mess that the
purple singlets were plastered brown with mud by race end.
So. Dan Ballard (Syracuse,
NY) ran a fine 4th place, in
26:54; Jr. Chad Stauring (Arkport, NY )-
15th place, 27:51 was followed closely by Jr. Mike

Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
