Donner's Debriefing
"It was a nice bounce back race for our men after the disappointing race at the league meet. First-year Pratt-Perez had an outstanding race to lead our team once again with Didden and Marson very close ti him which gave us a nice pack. We were hoping for a top 10 as a team and were very close."
Recap
Ethan Pratt-Perez capped his remarkable freshman season with a top 60 finish. His time of 31:12.5 unlocked 53rd place. Pratt-Perez moved up 26 spots at the 3100-meter mark enabling him to remain in the 50s.Â
Henry Didden battled injuries all year but rallied to place 55th. The junior recorded a time of 31:13.7. He finished 92nd at the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Regionals and should make a big impact in his senior year.Â
Harry Marson completed his Bucknell cross country finishing 64th. The senior runner raced 31:28.2. Marson did not compete in the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Regionals. His senior year represented a substantial improvement in competitive running.Â
Grayson Crockett started the first 1200-meters and hovered there for the race eventually finishing 80th. The senior runner recorded a time of 31:49.5. He finished 72nd at the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Regionals.
Ben Santos ended his Bucknell cross country career with a late surge of 23 spots to finish 90th. His time of 31:56.4 allowed him to become the final Orange & Blue scorer. It marked the second straight season as a scorer in the Mid-Atlantic Regionals; he placed 71st last year.Â
Villanova won the competition with 50 points. Georgetown and Princeton tied for second with 80 points.Â
