Richard Langdeaux (Rosebud Sioux) led the Viking men with a 13th-place finish at the meet and a time of 26:41. Langdeaux’s strong performance led the Viking men to a sixth-place finish overall in the nine-team field. Among North Star teams, the Vikings placed second behind Dakota State. Langdeaux took first place among North Star Athletic Association runners, and has a shot to qualify for the national meet based on his individual finish Friday.
