Bermudian Ryan Outerbridge led Franklin Pierce University to victory in the 5,000 metres at the Ron Oullette Invitational on Saturday.

Outerbridge won the cross-country event in Maine in a time of 15min 35.20sec, beating Troy Silvestri, from the University of New England by a huge margin of 15 seconds.

With the next Franklin Pierce finishers in fourth, fifth, twelfth and fifteenth and seventeenth, the university also sealed overall team success.

Outerbridge, who finished a superb second to Lamont Marshall in the Bermuda Half-Marathon Derby this year, will next be in action with the Ravens athletics squad at the Pop Crowell Invitational in Wenham, Massachusetts, on Saturday, September 14.
