NEWARK, N.J. – Off the back of strong runs from Aakash Arumugam and Logan Brunozzi, Seton Hall men's cross country reached new heights this season, winning the team's first Metropolitan Championship with 52 points in a nine-team field.
The win marked Head Coach Jacob Simon's first win at the helm of the Pirates. Additionally, it was also The Hall's first win since the 2023 Dutchmen Invitational.
How it Happened
Just like the last three meets, Aakash Arumugam continued his dominant sophomore campaign by running all the way to second place at the Metropolitan Championships. With a time of 24:29.0, the Californian secured his fourth consecutive meet atop the Pirates' timing table.
Only 14 seconds behind Arumugam, senior Logan Brunozzi crossed the line in third place, rounding out the podium, with a time of 24:43.00. His second-place intra-squad finish extended his streak as a top-three Pirate finisher to 13 meets.
Senior Stephen Beaman collected another top-ten finish for the Pirates, securing seventh-place overall with a time of 25:05.00. This was Beaman's 11th consecutive meet as a top-three Pirate finisher.
Returning to the scoring positions for the Pirates was Joseph Butler. The junior crossed the line in 19th place overall, fourth on The Hall, with a time of 25:43.00. After finishing among the top-four Pirate finishers six times last season, this was Butler's first top-four finish of the season.
Junior Jeffery Grynaviski earned the Pirates' final points-paying position. Grynaviski secured his fourth scoring finish for the Pirates with a 21st place overall finish with a time of 25:45.00.
What's Next
The Pirates will travel to Omaha, Neb., to compete at the 2025 BIG EAST Championships in on October 31.
