Senior Tommy Fyffe turned in a sterling performance in helping the Eagles' men's cross country team to a second-place finish out of 11 teams at the Sewanee Invitational.

Fyffe topped the 123-runner field with an 8K time of 25:36.  His performance spearheaded an Emory effort that saw it place three runners among the top eight finishers. 

Emory totaled 50 points at the Invitational and trailed only Division I member Mississippi State's top mark of 24 points.

Emory returns to action on Sept. 19 when it competes at the UGA Invitational in Athens.
