HANOVER, N.H. – Thanks to a first-place showing from senior Quinn Cooney, the Dartmouth men's cross country team handily won the season-opening Maribel Sanchez Souther Invitational at the Hanover Country Club Saturday morning.

An impressive team showing from top to bottom, the Big Green posted 18 points in the victory.

For Cooney, this was the second time he had won the event, also doing so as a freshman in the 2016 season when the meet was still known as the Dartmouth Invitational.

Now, as a senior, he paced the field with a 24:40 on the 8K course. Henry Raymond was second in 24:53, while Ben Matejka was third in 24:56.

Rounding out the scoring for the home team were Will Eaton (25:01) and Liam Jamieson (25:19) in fifth and seventh, respectively.

Brown was second in the team scores with 46 thanks to runners crossing in fourth and sixth. Maine was third with one top-10 finisher and claimed 76 points, while Hartford was fourth in the standings thanks to 119 team points.

For the Big Green, this marked the sixth straight team title, having captured the crown in every season-opening home meet since 2014.

Dartmouth is not in action again until Friday, Sept. 20 when it runs at Boston College's Coast-to-Coast Invitational.
