The University of Minnesota Duluth returned from a 15-day layoff Saturday morning and finished seventh among 20 teams - and sixth among all colleges and universities --  at the St. Olaf Invitational in Northfield, Minn.

Host St. Olaf captured the team title with a team score of 59 while the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire took runner-up honors (73 pts.). Those two schools ranked No. 1 and No. 4, respectively, in this week's United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division III Poll. 

The Bulldogs (177 pts.) were led by sophomore Blake Anderson, who completed the 8K race in 26:19.9, good for 24th overall in the 308-runner field. Three other sophomores were next  -- Cody Sedbrook (26th place; 26:24.9), Henry Jessen (33rd; 26:40.3) and Alex Naughton (48th; 27:03.5) while freshman Adam Armbruster (52nd; 27:07.7) was the final point getter. The sixth and seventh UMD finishers were rookies Isaac Overmyer (67th; 27:18.7) and Gage Sachs (79th; 27:32.5).

UMD will pay a visit to the University of Minnesota's Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights, Minn., next Saturday (Sept. 26) for the prestigious Roy Griak Invitational.
