*The Friars will compete against 19 other ranked opponents.*

 PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Providence College men’s cross country team will
head to Madison, Wis. to take part in one of the largest meets of the
season, second to the National Championship itself. The Friars will look to
compete at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course on Saturday,
Oct. 19 in a 12:00 p.m. CT start.

 Graduate student Julian Saad (Trumbull, Conn.) and juniors Shane Quinn
(Waterford, Ireland), Benjamin Connor (Derby, England), Brian Doyle
(Swansea, Mass.) and Liam Hillery (Smithfield, R.I.) will look to lead
sophomores Harvey Dixon (Aldershot, England) and Christian Costello
(Ridgewood, N.J.) along with freshman Trevor Crawley (Cumberland, R.I.) in
the race.

 The Friars will race against 19 top-30 teams in Wisconsin, including five
top-10 teams. Seventeenth-ranked Providence will take on No. 3 Northern
Arizona, No. 5 BYU, No. 6 Arkansas, No. 7 Portland and No. 8 Columbia. The
Friars will also face northeast regional schools and nationally ranked No.
27 Dartmouth and No. 11 Syracuse. Overall 35 teams will be competing at the
invitational on Saturday.

 The Friars top competitors last competed at the Boston College
Invitational, where Providence finished third ahead of then eighth-ranked
Wisconsin. The Friars were led by Saad, who earned a fifth place finish
with a season-best 24:16 in the 8k race. This season, Quinn has been the
Friars top-performer, with two first place finishes and three top-two team
finishes. Connor, Doyle, Saad and Quinn have all notched top-three team
finishes for the Friars this season.
