YPSILANTI, Mich.—The Ohio men’s and women’s cross country teams finished up the 2004 season Saturday, as the Bobcat men took 13th and the women placed 21st at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional in Ypsilanti, Mich.

Freshman Carime Reinhart (Bascom), a first-team All-Mid-American Conference selection, led the Bobcats with a 46th-place finish. Reinhart crossed the finish line at the 21:23.9 mark. Sophomore Andrea Maas (Cincinnati) took 123rd, while Ali Green (Lancaster) landed in 147th.

Junior Jason Linton (Vincent) paced the Bobcat men with a 49th-place finish, recording a time of 31:30.2. The Ohio men landed four runners in the top 100, as Austin Schiele (Hudson), Drew Frum (Poland) and Robert Wayner (Cincinnati) rounded out Ohio’s top finishers.

Ohio’s men collected 402 points to take the 13th spot. Three MAC schools finished in the top-ten, as Central Michigan, Miami and host-team Eastern Michigan recorded eighth, ninth and tenth place finishes, respectively, in the 29-team field.

Wisconsin used five top-15 runners to win the team title comfortably. Notre Dame, Butler, Michigan and Indiana rounded out the top-five.

Michigan’s Nate Brennan took the individual crown on the men’s side, finishing at 30:10.9, four seconds quicker than Indiana’s Sean Jefferson who took second.

On the women’s side, the Bobcats notched 622 points. Akron was the top MAC finisher in the women’s division, placing seventh.

Michigan captured the team title. Every Wolverine runner finished in the top-30, as the Big-10 squad amassed just 40 points. Notre Dame, Michigan State, Indiana and Marquette rounded out the top-five in the 30-team event.

Michigan’s Rebecca Walter took the individual crown, crossing the line at 20:01.4, less than a second ahead of the second-place finisher.

Ohio’s season ends in Ypsilanti at the NCAA Regional, but the Bobcats will return their top runner in both the men’s and women’s divisions—Linton and Reinhart—for the 2005 campaign.
