COLUMBIA, Mo. – Sophomore Thomas McMahon finished 93^rd at the NCAA Cross Country Championships Saturday afternoon. McMahon ran a personal best time of 29:33.0 in the 10K at the Gans Creek Cross Country Course.

McMahon posted Pitt men's cross country's highest individual finish since Keith Dowling came in 12^th at the national championship meet in 1990. The Columbus, Ohio, native caps off a season in which he was the Panthers' top finisher in all six meets, with three top 10 overall finishes. He began the 2025 season with a first-place finish at the Panthers Opener on Aug. 29, completing the 3.11-mile home course in 14:45.2. The following weekend, McMahon finished 7^th at the Spiked Shoe Invitational, running 5.2-miles in 25:06.1. A weekend ago, McMahon raced to 8^th place at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship, with a then-personal best 29:43.8 in the 10K to solidify his place in today's meet.
