FORT WASHINGTON -- Four Hamilton College athletes traveled to the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind., for the 2024 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Nov. 23. Among them was former Germantown Academy boys cross country captain, Alex Badami '22.
The only member of Hamilton's men's cross country team to make the race this year, Badami took 257th overall, finishing with a time of 26:19.00 -- 2:17.4 behind the first place finisher.
