Syracuse, N.Y. - With junior Kenneth Foster leading the way, the Mercyhurst men's cross country team earned a second-place finish Saturday afternoon at the four-team Le Moyne Invitational.

Foster, a week removed from a win at the Race at the Park, posted a time of 27:59 to take second overall, finishing behind only Jake McAndrew of Le Moyne, who won with a time of 27:21.
