Occidental College cross-country runners Laurie Schuster and Jose Garcia qualified for this weekend’s NCAA Division III championships in Rock Island, Ill., with strong performances last Saturday in the West regional in Santa Cruz.
Schuster, a junior, placed third, covering the 5,000-meter course in 19 minutes, 4 seconds.
Garcia, a freshman, finished ninth in the men’s race, covering the five-mile course in 28:07.
Temperatures in the 90s made qualifying even more difficult.
