CANTON, N.Y. -- The suspense is over for Hamilton College's Peter Kosgei and the men's cross country teams from Cortland State and New York University. But for  the teams from Geneseo State, St. Lawrence and Plattsburgh and a number of individual runners, including Nazareth's Nick Stenuf, the wait for a spot in the NCAA Division III Championship race at Hanover College in Indiana will linger into Sunday.

Kosgei, competing at the NCAA Atlantic Regional race, earned an automatic spot in the field as an individual as the 2007 national runner-up ran the wet and sometimes slippery 8000 meter Ronald C. Hoffmann Cross Country Course at St. Lawrence in 25:18.8, finishing almost 14 seconds in front of NYU senior Jesse Schneider, who was second in 25:32.9. Stenuf was Nazareth's top individual finisher in 13th place (26:10.5). Nazareth finished 19th in the team standings.

Cortland, the top-ranked team in the nation, won the team title, placing three runners in the top ten and all five scorers in the top 20 to finish with 47 points and seventh-ranked NYU earned the other automatic qualification spot, finishing second in the 34-team field with 87 points. Third place Geneseo (91), fourth place SLU (142) and fifth place Plattsburgh (173) earned the right to be considered as at large entries into the field with that decision to be made by the NCAA Cross Country Championship committee on Sunday.

Geneseo's Tim Chichester, who was fourth overall, the Saints Dan Ramsey (seventh) and Steve Kiplagat (11th), Plattsburgh's Michael Heymann (eight) and Chris Guerriero (ninth) and Tom Bocchino (12th) of the College of New Jersey currently hold the other individual qualifying spots if no other teams are selected from the Atlantic Regional in Sunday's completion of the field. If one or more of the three teams which qualified for at large consideration are selected, it would open the door for Stenuf and Travis Stewart of Rutgers-Camden, who was 15th among others.  The TCNJ duo join Kosgei as the assured individual qualifiers while the others in the previously mentioned group could all still see team qualification.

Other Nazareth competitors were senior Robby Castor in 38th place (26:55.9); sophomore Matt Morales in 122nd place (28:30.3); freshman Peter Fekete in 140th place (29:00.8); freshman Tim Rytan in 190th place (30:32.0); and sophomore Paul Wheeler in 200th place (30:55.3).

In the women's NCAA Atlantic Regional, Nazareth finished 14th in the team standings and was paced individually by senior Abby Crain, who placed 62nd on the 6,000-meter course with a time of 25:09.8.

Other Nazareth finishers were: junior Shannon Bradley in 63rd place (25:11.2); junior Caitlyn Parmelee in 74th place (25:28.0); sophomore Samantha Hickok in 99th place (26:02.4); senior Megan Goetz in 128th place (26:45.7); freshman Michelle Gillette in 137th place (26:56.4); and sophomore Jessica Stanchus in 148th place (27:10.1).
