LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - The prospect of having to contend with an immense field on Saturday at the Lock Haven Invite did not seem to hinder the Red and White as Dickinson took third-place in the 34-team field that had institutions from all three divisions represented.

Teddy Mercer was the first Dickinson runner to complete the Crimson 8k race taking 26th with a time of 25:21.3. Michael Loalbo and Alexander Kane crossed the line within two spots of each other finishing in 32nd (25:30.2) and 34th (25:34.4) respectively. Matthew Dietrick was not too far off their pace landing in 37th at 25:38.4. The next Devil runner crossed in 43rd as Brock Overlander posted a time of 25:47.6, while Romario Cruz also finished inside the Top-50 hitting the stripe in 25:50.1 for 47th. Nolan Meinke (26:24.9),  William Tripp (26:27.2), and James Marks (26:30.2) also competed in the 290-runner event. 

Cornell took the team title with 20 points, followed by Wayne State (48), Dickinson (137), Messiah (139), and Slippery Rock (160) in the Top-5. Cornell's Perry Mackinnon won the individual crown with a time of 24:15.1.
