BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo men's and women's cross country teams concluded their regular seasons Saturday afternoon at the UB Invitational. The Bulls' men's squad tied for top honors with Cornell at 35 points apiece while UB's women scored 46 points finishing second behind Cornell's 35 points.

Following the men's tie between UB and Cornell, Waterloo placed third with 62 while Hilbert was fourth among the four scoring teams with 120. Waterloo also finished third in the women's race with 64 while Brock was fourth with 101. Medaille's women and Brock's men did not field enough runners to place in the team scoring. The meet was run in sustained winds of 20 miles per hour with gusts of up to 30 mph.

Unattached runner Jerimie Slick won the men's 8 kilometer race in a time of 25:55.7. He was followed by three UB runners Rick Stewart (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West), Todd Ludden (Hornell, NY/Hornell) and Tony David (Lima, NY/Honeoye Falls-Lima) who each were timed at 26:10.7.

Waterloo's Debbie Buhlers blitzed the field to take the women's 5 kilometer race in 18:13.5 over a full minute ahead of the second place runner, teammate Kristie Henry. UB's Eileen Rose (Latham, NY/Shaker) and Melissa Burrows (Norwood, NY/Norwood-Norfolk) placed third and fourth respectively in 19:30.5 and 19:39.8. Cornell runners then took the next seven spots ensuring the lowest score to win the team title.

Both Bulls' squads are off next week. The teams are next in action at the Mid-American Conference championships in Kalamazoo, Mich. on October 28.
