Bronx, N.Y. – The UMBC men's cross country team secured a trophy by finishing third at the 2025 IC4A Championships held at the historic Van Cortlandt Park on Friday morning.

Sophomore standout Daniel Danilovitz achieved a personal-best time of 24:35.2 in the 8K race, marking the second-fastest time in program history (the record is 23:57.1 set by Hassan Omar in 2015). Danilovitz placed 7th overall out of 225 competitors and earned All-East Team honors. He was particularly strong over the final half of the race as he moved up eight spots to finish in the top-10.

Senior Thomas Foulkes finished 46th with a time of 25:24.6, while sophomore Weston Carr came in 95th with a time of 26:05.0, both placing just outside of the scoring range.
