Junior Eddie Mulder turned in a strong effort in helping the Emory men's cross country team to a fourth-place finish out of 15 teams at the season-opening Sewanee/Berry Invitational.

Mulder paced the Emory contingent and placed fourth overall out of 134 runners, covering the 8K course in a personal-best time of 26:32. 

Mulder's effort at the meet represented the third time in his two-year career that he ranked as the Eagles' top runner.
