Paul Short Run Information

Donner's Debriefing

"We are very excited to be back to Lehigh for the Paul Short Run. It is a very large meet and a very competitive meet with some nationally and ranked teams. It is the same course as the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships and it will give us a very good gauge on where we rank within the Patriot League and the region. We have been training really well for three weeks since our last race at Penn State and we are excited to test ourselves."
