BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- Led by middle distance ace sophomore Eric Brown, the No. 7 Wisconsin men's cross country team finished fourth at the Illinois State Invitational on Friday at the Weibring Golf Course.

Right behind Brown was junior Zack Benning, who finished 20th in 25:45.6 while Tannor Wagner continued his success during his freshman campaign with a 21st-place finish thanks to a time of 25:45.8.

Senior Troy Smith was right behind Brown, Benning and Wagner, taking 22nd in 25:45.9 while sophomore Ryan Clevenger finished 33rd.
