Harshman competed on Bison cross country teams that went 39-0 in duals, won for ECC crowns, and finished 12th at the 1982 NCAA Championship, the highest finish in school history. Regarded as an outstanding team captain, Harshman was Bucknell's top finisher in every cross country race as a senior, and he was part of teams that won 11 of a possible 12 conference titles in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field.Â
