Competing in the NCAA Division I-heavy 2013 Stanford Invitational, Nicolas Rifflard helped Academy of Art University Men's Cross Country finish 11th overall with his 35th place individual finish on the 8k course. Rifflard was battling out with a pair of runners from Fresno State and a duo from Chico State as well as Dominican's top competitor. He ended up posting a 25:56 which tied him with Fresno's Danny Vartanian and the Wildcats' Alex McGuirk.

"Nicolas got into his first collegiate cross country race and he looked great out there," associate head coach Torrey Olson said. "In the past, I've seen Nicolas run middle distance track races, but he showed he's a competitor in all distances. As he builds momentum this season, I'm excited to see what he can do in November."
