Posted: Sep 12, 2015

HANOVER, N.H. – Sophomore Ryan Cadorette (Saco, Maine/Thornton Academy) was the top finisher for the Bentley University men's cross country team as the Falcons opened their season Saturday morning at the Dartmouth Invitational.

Cadorette covered the 8,000-meter Hanover Country Club course in 25:46.35 to place 18th overall. That was the second best among collegians not running for the host institution.

Bentley's top three also included senior Tom Dean (Portland, Maine/Deering HS) and junior Erik Alatalo (Wilmington, Mass./Wilmington HS). Dean was 30th in 26:11.46 and Alatalo was the 34th man across the line, finishing in 26:17.69.

Dartmouth cruised to the team victory after having 13 of the first 15 finishers (with the other two running unattached). The Big Green, with a perfect score of 15, were followed by UMass-Lowell (62), Keene State (84), Bentley (100) and Middlebury (125) in the five-team meet.

Dartmouth's Brian Masterson placed first in 24:24.51 as he turned in a winning margin of 4.13 seconds.

Next Saturday, Bentley will compete in the UMass-Dartmouth Invitational.
