LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell University men's cross country team, competing on two fronts on Friday, earned a second-place finish from Grant Kern in the 6K race, while Trent Dinant took second overall in the 4K race.

Results

"Today was just a low-key tune-up," said Head Coach Kevin Donner. "Some people we ran today will run the Patriot League Championships, and we just wanted to see where they were at due to some health concerns in previous weeks. Most of the people ran in their last cross country race of the season, and today gave them some great experience and we also wanted to see how the course was running since we host the Patriot League Championships next week. Many of our Patriot League athletes did a workout today and we were able to get on the course for a bit which should help for next week."

12 runners competed in each race, with Dinant (12:39.40) the top finisher in the 4K edition. Dinant, who won Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors earlier this season, was followed by Zachary Laird (12:39.80) in third, with Mason Siebenhaar (5^th) also competing in that distance.

Kern was the first Bison to cross the line in the 6K race (20:00.00), and was joined by Quinn McCutcheon (6^th), Peter Clifford (7th) Thomas White, and Daniel Hilmer in that race. A pair of Lehigh runners took the top spot in each distance, with Mansfield also competing at the meet on Friday. The meet was not scored.

The Bison will now look ahead to the Patriot League Championships next Saturday, October 29. The meet will be the first time the Bison have hosted the Patriot League Championships since the 2018 season.
