The cross country team had an impressive showing Wednesday afternoon as the Crusaders concluded their regular season by running past St. Joe's, 24-31, in the rivals' only meeting of the season. 

The top five for Canisius at a muddy Como Lake Park in Lancaster were:

* Eli Noecker '23 of Eden
* Landon Schoenberger '23 of Williamsville
* Chris Huddy '23 of Derby
* Evan Galvin '24 of East Aurora 
* Bradley Saleh-McDermott '24 of Buffalo

Noecker and Schoenberger finished 1-2 in 18:43 and 18:49, respectively, with Huddy, Galvin and Saleh finishing 6-7-8 to push the Crusaders past the Marauders. 

Canisius entered the week ranked as the No. 9 large school in Western New York in Matthew Cady's first year coaching the Marauders. 

Canisius's next meet is back at Como Lake Park for the All-Catholic Championships on Nov. 7.
