Cross Country Travels to Lehigh for Paul Short Run
09/28/2022 | Cross Country
Richmond, Va. — The Richmond cross country programs head to their largest meet of the year on Friday when the squads toe the line at the Paul Short Run hosted by Lehigh. The Spiders will be shoulder to shoulder with runners from over 120 colleges and universities as they battle it out on the historic 6K and 8K Murray Goodman Cross Country Courses.
Last year, the Spiders finished 27th on the men's side and 28th for the women. Peter Borger was the top finisher for the men, as Elizabeth Stockman paced the women.
With the exception of one, the Spiders return every scorer from last year's meet. Borger was the first Spider across the finish line in the Men's College Gold 8K race, coming in at 20th at 23:52.7. He was the first finisher from an Atlantic 10-member school in the race as five A-10 teams competed. Noah Campbell was the next Spider across the line, at 25:24.0. Riley Fletcher turned in a 25:26.3 time, with Jake Schindel next in at 25:48.6. Patrick Sutphin and Sean Doolan were the next two Spiders to finish with times of 25:50.1 and 25:53.1, respectively. Jimmy Quinn and Jordan Bendura each came in under the 27-minute mark. Quinn finished at 26:00.2, and Bendura at 26:22.3. Tanner Crochet and Robert Gunia added times of 27:11.5 and 28:15.1 to round out the men.
On the women's side, Stockman led the charge with a time of 21:35.2 in the Women's College Gold 6K race with a time of 21:36.2. Lily Snow was the second Spider to finish, adding a time of 21:47.8. Laurel Kurtz added a time of 22:18.0 and Kate McAndrew finished at 22:21.6. The duo of Anna George and Isabel Blaylock finished in times of 22:52.3 and 22:58.6, respectively. Lindsay Colflesh and Emily Rzucidlo finished back-to-back at 23:23.0 and 23:23.5. Manon Stephen was the final spider across the finish line, turning in a time of 24:12.3.
Last time out at the Navy Invitational, the Spiders turned in second (women) and third (men) place finishes with Stuart Terrill (5th) leading the way for the men and Madison Trippett (3rd) doing the same for the women. Freshman Jade Mawn took home the victory in the open 5K, while Rzucidlo won the women's open 5k.
