CLAREMONT, Calif. – Cal Lutheran men's cross country sent seven runners to compete at the NCAA West Regionals at the Pomona-Pitzer campus course on Saturday morning.

Cal Lutheran sent George Gaitanis, Thomas Illson, Tristan Kanner, Adrian Rodriguez, Diego Romero, Daniel Velasquez, and Jacob Witt onto the course.

For the third-straight race, Kanner, a freshman, set a personal best with a time of 28:58.7. He was Cal Lutheran's top finisher at 138th individually.

Velasquez (29:30.4), Witt (30:04.3), Romero (30:25.7), and Rodriguez (30:26.6) finished not far behind.
