Frank Gustafson blistered the 8K course at the NCAA D-III Central Cross Country Regional in Waverly, Iowa Saturday in 25:19.7 to finish in 16th place, leading Hamline's efforts. The sophomore clipped 17 seconds off his time in the MIAC championships two weeks ago and will have to wait a day to see if he qualifies for next weekend's NCAA D-III Championship meet as an at-large participant. Gustafson was the fifth MIACer across the finish line to help Hamline to a 17th place finish in the 31 team field with 480 points. 

Kyle Mehrhof, a senior, was 67th in 26:25.7. The Pipers' other three scorers were sophomore Ben Roen (27:06.3) and a pair of first year runners -- Tyler Gallagher (27:48.7) and Aric Brodie (28:05.2).
