WALTHAM, Mass – The Bentley men's cross country team prepares for the Northeast 10 Championship in Bethpage, N.Y. Saturday, Nov. 7, at 11 a.m. The 8K race is at Bethpage State Park, hosted by Adelphi.

The Falcons are led by senior Hayden MacArthur, who is tied for the conference's fastest 8K this fall (24:39). After messing the 2025 cross country season due to injury, MacArthur has won two meets this fall. He was named the NE10 Runner of the Week after placing fifth out of 240 runners in the Dartmouth Invitational (Sept. 19).

Rocco Bueti is Bentley's top returner from last year's conference championship. He placed 25^th in the 8K with a time of 27:55. Mason Behl and Jason Fournier are also key runners for Bentley this weekend.

Bentley placed seventh out of nine teams in last year's NE10 Championship.

As a team, the Falcons aim to regain their form from the 2024 season. Two years ago, Bentley placed third in the NE10 Championship on its way to earning a bid for the NCAA DII Championship in Sacramento, Calif.
