Ben Sathre Named Scholar-Athlete of 2011 Division III Cross Country Season

In addition, 141 individuals receive All-Academic status for the 2011 cross country season

 

February 8, 2012

 

NEW ORLEANS – Ben Sathre of the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota) was named the USTFCCCA NCAA Division III Men’s Scholar Athlete of the Year for the 2011 cross country season on Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Sathre was also the NCAA Division III cross country champion for the 2011 fall season.

 

Scholar Athletes are determined from among those who earned All-Academic status and placed highest individually at the most recent NCAA Championships.

 

USTFCCCA NCAA Division III

Cross Country Men’s Scholar Athlete of the Year – Ben Sathre, St. Thomas (Minn.)

 

A senior from Chaska, Minn., Sathre has a 3.74 cumulative GPA in History and Education through the 2011 fall semester.

 

To get the national crown, he led the NCAA DIII championship race for most of the eight-kilometer course with SUNY Geneseo’s Lee Berube close by. And, with a fast start, Sathre led by five seconds by the first mile split (4:34), and went on to win by five seconds over Berube for his first national cross country crown.

 

Sathre’s final time was 23:44.3, just two seconds off the meet-record time of 23:42.3 set in 1999 by Puget Sound’s Dave Davis.

 

He was the first from St. Thomas to win a men’s cross country national crown since Nicholas Manciu in 1982.

 

Also in the fall, Sathre led wire-to-wire and garnered a 20-second win in the NCAA Central Regional for his second-straight region title. Sathre also won the MIAC title by more than 32 seconds.
