Skinny: The Irish are an up-and-coming men's distance program that finished 14th at the NCAA Division I Men's Cross Country Championships--and whom put a freshman runner (Danny Kilrea) into the top 35. Adding Cheeseman and Renfree only bolsters the squad in the immediate future. Cheeseman has posted times of 3:54.86 in the 1500, 8:54.06 in the 3200m and 14:36.60 in the 5K on the track. Renfree has gone 4:08.11 for 1600m and 9:13.90 for 3200m. Both athletes could challenge for spots in the starting lineup in 2019.
