Senior Alex Fleischhacker was the top runner for the Emory men's cross country team at the 2014 season-opening Berry Invitational.

Fleischhacker, a two-time All-South/Southeast Region honoree, clocked an 8K time of 27:23 that placed second overall in the 43-runner field, and that helped the Eagles to a second-team place finish.  His outing helped the team capture three of the top seven overall spots in the competition.

The Eagles concluded the Invitational with 31 points, one shy of SCAD Savannah's first-place effort.  Berry was third with 67 points while LaGrange closed out the field with 120 points.

Emory returns to action on Sept. 13 when it competes at the Furman Classic.
