Woodbury’s Brady Shute, a Cornell junior, ran a 5,000 all-course PR Friday and placed 5th in the John Reif Memorial Run at Cornell’s Moakley Course in Ithaca, N.Y.
Shute ran 15:15.7 and finished 2nd among current collegians, behind only Syracuse sophomore Gabriel Planty, who ran 15:06.7. Noah Carey, a former Penn runner, was the overall winner in 14:44.8.
Shute’s previous all-course 5K PR was 15:41.1 over the same course in the same meet in 2021. There aren’t a lot of 5Ks in college XC.
Shute last spring ran on Cornell’s 4-by-8 team that won the Ivy League Championships in 7:24.80. He ran 1:49.87 in the open 800.
This was Shute’s last race before Cornell races at the Ivy League Championships – the Heps – at noon Oct. 28 at Franklin Park in Boston.
