Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- Duquesne University's men's cross country team placed third at the 2003 Atlantic 10 Championship, equaling the school's best-ever finish. The Dukes were led by junior Ryan Bender (Indiana, PA / Indiana). Bender finished second overall with a time of 25:12.6 and was named to the All-Conference Team for the second season in a row.

La Salle won its third consecutive championship after placing three runners in the top five. Saint Joseph's sophomore Andre Leboy captured the individual crown with a time of 24:46.7, just 25 seconds ahead of Bender on the Belmont Plateau course.
