VANCOUVER, WASH. (Nov. 17, 2012) – Our Lady of the Lake University's (OLLU) David Duque participated in the 2012 NAIA Men's Cross-Country National Championships held last Saturday at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

Duque, a sophomore from San Antonio Burbank, recorded the 8K in a time of 28:06 out of a slate of 309 runners. This was his second trip to nationals after finishing third in the Red River Athletic Conference Meet earlier this month.

"First of all, I mentioned before we left for the NAIA meet that I expected David to represent himself and OLLU in a way that we could all be proud of and that is in fact what he did. I cannot say that he got a result that we hoped for, but I can say it was not an issue of desire or effort on his part."
