Will Brunner was running in a championship race last weekend, but for the first time in a long time, the late-fall race wasn’t in Colorado Springs. “It was weird to be racing on that day and not be at (Norris) Penrose,” said the Harvard freshman, who placed 43rd at the Ivy League Heptagonal cross-country championships in Princeton, New Jersey last Saturday. After winning Battle Mountain’s first individual state cross-country title last fall – and defending his 3200-meter crown with an all-classification track record in May – Brunner has found his place on the nationally No. 20-ranked Crimson’s squad.
