  Also scoring for Salem was sophomore Jeremy Drouillard, who placed eighth in 19:06.

  "Our performances of the day were by Jeremy, who stepped up to be our fifth runner, and sophomore Evan Stevenson, who took 40 seconds off his previous best time," said Salem co-coach Steve Aspinall.

  The Rocks return to action Tuesday when they take on Northville at Cass Benton.
