The men's team compiled a team score of 120, and finished behind Oklahoma State and Penn State for the team title. Junior Wesley Reinhardt ran the 5.2-mile course in 26:49.14 to finish in 11th place over all and first for the Bison. Junior Nicholas Mousetis also came within the top 25 runners clocking 27:21.75(24th).
"I was very impressed with Wes, who ran a very smooth race," mentioned head coach Kevin Donner. "I was also happy with Doug Creveling who has now adjusted to the collegiate scene, and Billy Duffy who mad a nice collegiate debut."
Rounding out the teams scoring for the men's team was sophomore Douglas Creveling (27th, 27:30.19), junior Marcus Jones (30th, 27:35.38), and senior Eric Furst (33rd, 38.61). The Bison had a total of 24 participants entered in the meet.
"Although we held out Greg Costello, Bryan Johnston, and Lou Palma, we still need some veterans to step up a little more if we want to be competitive in the Mid-Atlantic region," said Donner.
The women's team gathered a team score of 82, and finished behind host Penn State running a 6K course. Setting the team's pace was senior Theresa Dennis with a time of 22:25.43 to place ninth overall. Following behind Dennis, included newcomers freshmen Alison Cole (16th, 22:56.72), Kayla Halloran (18th, 23:02.69), and Rachel Tutmaher (19th, 23:04.99) in the top 25 runners. Finishing the scoring for the women was senior Nicki Piper clocking in at 23:31.01. The women's team had a total of 22 runners entered in the meet.
"Theresa Dennis ran a solid race and gave us a low score," stated Donner. "I expect her to improve every week to put herself in contention for a return trip to the NCAA Championships. I was also very impressed with many of out rookies who have handled the collegiate concept of training quiet well."
Bucknell will return to action next Saturday, Sept. 14, when they travel to West Point, N.Y. to compete against Patriot League foe Army.
