Men's Cross Country: Wisconsin claims 14th-straight Big Ten title

The men’s cross country team dominated the field in East Lansing, Mich., Sunday to win its 14th-consecutive conference championship, the 46th in program history.

Senior Maverick Darling placed second overall individually with a time of 23:35 in the eight-kilometer race. The Ovid, Mich., native finished just one second before fellow senior Mohammed Ahmed.  

Both earned their fourth-straight all-conference first team honors.

Two other senior Badgers placed in the top seven Sunday, Reed Connor (23:47) and Rob Finnerty (24:02). They joined Darling and Ahmed as All-Big Ten first-team selections.

Indiana redshirt senior Zach Mayhew placed first individually with a time of 23:30.

The season is not over for the defending national champion Badgers, who will host the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Nov. 9 at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course.
