Denison junior Joel Bendtsen (Chillicothe, Ohio/Chillicothe) turned in a strong showing at the 2006 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championship at Voice of America Park in West Chester, Ohio. Bendtsen, who qualified as an individual after a 17th place finish overall at the Great Lakes Regional one week ago, logged a time of 28:42 in today's championship. His time placed him 119th out of 279 total runners.
Bendtsen's time was just under two minutes behind the winning pace set by Widner's Macharia Yuot who crossed the finish line in 26:31.
Bendtsen is the first Denison male cross country runner to qualify for nationals since 2000.
