BETHLEHEM, Pa.- The Bucknell Bison men's cross country team competed at the 50th occurrence of the historic Paul Short Run and placed 22nd in the Men's College Gold 8k race. The College Gold race featured the finest teams attending among the 150+ squads present. The event was filled with Power Four teams, regional rivals, and Patriot League foe. Bucknell performed admirably against such heavy competition by finishing the top 25 and the third-highest Patriot League school behind Army and Navy.Â

Donner's Debriefing
"Considering we were not at full strength today and plus a couple mishaps occurred during the race, I felt the men ran pretty solid today. This large of a meet, along with top level competition, tends to separate teams's packs more so than the smaller races and sometimes teams can get impacted. Our guys did a very nice job passing people over the last 2k. We had some guys run pretty good in the open race as well and they may help us in the next 2-4 weeks."
Recap
The Bison used a late push to move up five spots in the overall standings and claim 22nd.Â
Senior Grayson Crockett led the Bison runners placing 88th. He earned a time of 24:41.6.
Another senior Harry Marson broke into the top 100 with his 95th placement. Marson recorded a speed of 24:42.8.Â
Freshman Ethan Pratt-Perez continued his successful rookie season finishing 131st. He just placed under the 25-minute mark (24:57.4).Â
Senior Ben Santos grabbed 142nd in the crowded field racing for a time of 25:02.8.Â
Junior Grant Kern rounded out the Orange & Blue's scorers with his 251st standing. He ran for a time of 25:44.1.
Up Next
The Bison will return to action on Oct. 18 at the prestigious and historic IC4A Championships.Â
