Geneseo’s Moore Honored Again

Dan Moore (Southwestern/Lakewood) finished off his third year as the head coach of the SUNY Geneseo men’s and women’s cross country teams in style, picking up his second consecutive men’s and third straight women’s US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Atlantic Region Coach of the Year Award.

Moore earned the honors after leading both teams to first-place finishes at the Atlantic Region Championships, which he has done each of the past three years. Geneseo is now only one of two teams to three-peat in the men’s division while the women’s squad was able to surpass SUNY Cortland for its 10th overall title.

Moore fostered 12 All-Region honors for his runners this season, including one for Isaac Garcia-Cassani, who finished sixth out of a field of 279 during last Saturday’s NCAA Division III Championships in Elsah, Illinois with a time of 24.32.24.

The Fighting Scots grabbed 19th overall out of a field of 32 teams thanks to strong performances by six freshmen, including Pietrocarlo who ran a 151st-place (128th in scoring) time of 23:03.4.

Clayton Hanson (Southwestern/Jamestown) and the ninth-ranked West Point rifle team suffered a recent setback to No. 2 TCU, with the Horned Frogs picking up a 4,713-4,642 win this past weekend.

On Nov. 10 Army split a tri-match, topping No. 30 MIT but falling to No. 14 Nevada-Reno after Hanson fired a 583 smallbore and 582 air rifle for an 1,165 aggregate.

Army is next scheduled to face conference opponent Kentucky on Jan. 13.
