BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Nick Garrett became sixth different individual champion for the Elizabethtown College men's cross country team at the Landmark Conference Championships on Saturday, but the Blue Jays lost their consecutive league title streak on a tiebreaker to Moravian. The Blue Jays finished with 50 points along with the Greyhounds and had three all-conference place finishers at the meet.

Garrett pulled away from the field over the last stretch and ran to the individual championship for the Blue Jays, finishing as the only runner to break 26 minutes. Garrett's winning time was 25:37.7. He joins Dan Gresh (2014), Zach Trama (2015), and Samuel Gerstenbacher (2017, 2018, 2019) as the the fourth champion for Etown.

Christian Schaaf, who spent time behind Susquehanna's Jack Warhime, overcame the River Hawks' top runner and took third place in 26:22.6. Warhime came in behind Schaaf at 26:28.2.

Colm Smith and Brandon Baxter made their way up the board by the race's finish. Smith came through for Elizabethtown with a 14th-place finish while Baxter was right behind him in 15th. Smith's time was 27:06.9 and Baxter ran 27:07.2.

Adam Wolfe was the final scorer for the Jays. He was 17th at 27:12.1.

Elizabethtown and Moravian tied with 50 points apiece. The tiebreaker breaks down the top 5 finishers for each team by head-to-head place finishes. While the Blue Jays' top two finishers, 1st and 3rd, were better than Moravian's, 7th and 8th, the Greyhounds next three runners (10th, 12th, 13th) finished ahead of Etown's (14th, 15th, 17th), giving Moravian the majority and the Landmark Conference crown.

The defeat snapped a conference winning streak of six straight for the Jays, who had won it each year since joining the conference.

As the conference's individual champion, Garrett was also named the Performer of the Year. Schaaf made the All-Landmark First Team and Smith earned a spot on the All-Landmark Second Team.

The Blue Jays will prepare for the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional on Saturday, November 13.
