WAVERLY, Iowa (Oct. 5, 2024) - The Buena Vista University men's cross country team had a pair of individuals reach the finish line in the top-25 of the Dan Huston Invite on Saturday morning, hosted by Wartburg College, to help the Beavers take fifth place overall among the 11-team field.

Kaden Sadler crossed first for the Beavers in a time of 25:50.8 that put him 16th overall. Kyle Miller was right behind at 25:57.4 and took 21st. Junior Carter Braun ran his personal best time of 28:40.2 and Brayden Mahlum shaved nearly a full minute off his only other career 8k race. Haydn Piskorski and Zach Thompon rounded out the line-up.
