Haven Men Win, Women Take Third at Maroon and Gold Invite

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University men’s cross country team captured the team title at the Maroon and Gold Invite hosted by Kutztown University.  The Bald Eagles were paced by individual men’s winner Ryan Blood (Summerdale/East Pennsboro).  The women fared nearly as well, placing third overall.

The Haven harriers took nine of the first 11 spots, led by Blood with a time of 26:00 even on the 8k course. By placing nine in the top 11, the men collected 23 points.  Placing fourth was Chris Robson (Lewisberry, Pa./Red Land) with a time of 26:32, along with senior Billy Buckenmeyer (Alexander, N.Y./Alexander Central) who was fifth also with a time of 26:32.  In sixth place was junior Aaron Benson (Mt. Jewett, Pa./Kane Area) in 26:54, followed by seventh place Cory Spidell (Home, Pa./Marion Center) in 27:04.

The Lady Eagles scored 73 points en route to their third place finish, and were paced by senior Holly Bofinger (Warminster, Pa./William Tennent), who finished seventh with a time of 24:36.  Fellow senior Sarah Robertson (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Mechanicsburg) followed right behind in eighth with a time of 24:37.  Freshman Alyssa Douma (West Milford, N.J./West Milford) took the 6K course with a time 25:24, finishing 15th.  Rebekah Schrader (Wysox, Pa./Towanda) came home in 16th in 25:26, followed by Leigh Miller (St. Thomas, Pa./James Buchanan) in 27th place with a time of 26:16.  

“All the teams looked strong today,” commented head coach Aaron Russell.  “Everyone worked well together at a team which is what we wanted to focus on.  It was good to see everyone work well with each other.”

The Haven will be back kicking up some dust next weekend, Sept. 17, when they host the LHU Invite on the West Branch Cross Country Course.  The starter gun will fire at 11 a.m.
