Bronx, New York – The BMCC Men's Cross Country team made major strides in the program's second-ever appearance in the CUNYAC Cross Country Championships as sophomores Tatenda Chikanyairo (Fort Lee, New Jersey) and Trent Santoro both registered both registered top 20 finishes and helped the Panther's grab second place overall on a wet and soggy Sunday afternoon at Van Cortlandt Park. The Panthers were finally able to qualify with five runners lacing it up and finished with a score of 42 behind defending Men's Champion Queensborough.
