LEWISBURG, Pa.- Men's cross country welcomed Lehigh in the Bucknell Open on Friday night and surpassed its Keystone Clash rival as a final tune-up before next Saturday's Patriot League Championships. Runners either completed a 4k, 6k, or 8k circuit. Bucknell held out most of its top runners in preparation for the league competition.

Ryan Pepperman was right on his teammate's heels, clocking at 12:19.90. Owen Little rounded out the top three Orange & Blue runners, logging 12:20.30.
