RESULTS | CALDWELL, Idaho  – The Bushnell men's cross country team went back to work on Friday, competing at the Cascade Conference Preview Meet, hosted by The College of Idaho at Fairview Golf Course.  
 
Competing at a 6000-meter distance instead of the NAIA's official 8000-meters, the race still covered the same loop as the CCC Championship race will in November, giving the Beacons an opportunity to experience the course.
 
"I am very proud of the effort today," said head coach Kyle Will. "The guys ran well. We need to work on the mental side of things with all of them. As they begin to gain confidence and trust the new training practices, then things will start to come together a little more."
 
Junior Noah Mancione was the lead runner for the Beacons for the second straight race. He posted a hear identical time to his Linfield race earlier this season, coming across the finish line in 20 minutes, 36.3 seconds.
 
The most impressive performance came from freshman Logan Gant (pictured) who shaved 47 seconds off of his previous time and broke the 22-minute barrier for the first time (21:59.3).
 
Senior Christopher Rosebrook (22:27.0) was third for the Beacons while freshman Wyatt Pepiot (22:51.5) and sophomore Sayer Pescosolido (22:51.9) crossed the finish line together to round out the scoring. For Pepiot,his time was a massive improvement of nearly a minute and a half.  
 
As a team, the Beacons took fourth place in the event.
 
The Beacons will return to action in two weeks, competing in the Cascade Collegiate Conference preview meet. Hosted by the College of Idaho, the race will take place at Fairview Golf Course in Caldwell, Idaho.
