In Utica's first cross country action of the 2025 season, Melita took the chance to further put his name in the record books by setting the course record at the SUNY Poly Short Course Invitational. Melita finished the six kilometer course with a time of 18:49.5. The previously standing record was set in 2015 by Zakaria Djouma, a runner from Mohawk Valley Community College.

Men's cross country will next lace up on Saturday, September 13th when the team competes in the Hamilton Short Course Invitational. The race is currently scheduled to start at 11:45am.
