ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – Freshman Robert Romano earned medal honors to power the Frostburg State men's cross country team to a fifth place finish at the 2015 Seahawk Invitational at St. Mary's College, Saturday.

Meet Results
 
FSU grabbed fifth place out of nine teams behind Romano's stellar race. The freshman covered the 6k course in 27:40 and was the 11^th overall finisher. However, because of a non-collegiate runner that earned eighth place, Romano moved up to 10^th in the final standings to earn his medal.
 
Bobcat junior Xavier Alvarez was Frostburg's second finisher as he crossed the line in 29:13. Alvarez earned 38^th-place overall and 32^nd in the team standings.
 
Senior Greg Horning and freshman Matthew Whitley each finished in the top-50 for Frostburg. Horning took 42^nd overall in 29:32, while Whitley was 47^th in 29:54.
 
Rounding out the top five were seniors Jeremy Brown and Adam Jenkins. Brown captured 55^th-place for Frostburg with a time of 30:29, while Jenkins was 63^rd in 31:06.
 
Junior Stanton Higham and senior Ryan Hipps finished back-to-back in 68^th and 69^th place, with times of 31:39 and 31:42, respectively.
 
Frostburg State returns to action next Saturday when it travels to the Dickinson College Long Short Invitational.
