TODD APGAR ('07) -NCAA REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS - Racing in the mud after 10 plus inches of rain doused the University of Maryland Eastern Shore cross country course thanks to Hurricane (Nor'easter) Ida. Finishing second for Monmouth just two seconds behind their number one runner and only one and a half seconds behind the former superb high school runner from Edgemont, Zach Bornstein (now running for George Washington University) Todd has now established himself as a solid Division One runner. In this regional championship he ran against the best from Princeton, Georgetown, Pitt, Temple, Penn, Penn State, Villanova, Lehigh, George Washington, American, Maryland, Delaware and other top programs.
In his first season at Monmouth since transferring from Lynchburg this past summer Todd was running as the number 10 / 11 runner after the first three races. He then made a huge leap to the number four runner last month and finished fifth for the team at their conference championship at Quinnipiac. Yesterday's finish as the two man was the highlight of a fine season.
Next Saturday is the IC4A Competition at VCP in the Bronx. This will mark the last XC race for his sophomore season. His time was 35:22 for his first ever 10 K race. They say the course was 90 to 120 seconds slow due to the terrible conditions. COMPLETE RESULTS HERE
