WALTHAM, Mass. – The Bentley men's cross country team aims for a return to the national stage when it runs in the NCAA East Regional Saturday, Nov. 8. The race is at the Hopkinton Fairgrounds in Hopkinton, N.H.

Last year, the Falcons placed third in the NCAA East Regional, marking the program's best finish since 2016. The 2024 Falcons earned a bid to the NCAA Championship.

Key returners from last year's regional race include Mason Behl, Rocco Bueti, and Max Lampe.

Behl placed 18^th with a 10K time of 32:16.5 in the 2024 Regional. Bueti was 26^th by timing in at 32:41.9, and Lampe was 36^th out of 140 runners by crossing the finish line in 32:56.2.

Bueti and Lampe were Bentley's top two runners in the 2025 Northeast 10 Championship two weeks ago.
