LVC Team Finish: Third, 51

Top Individual Finish: Andrew Goelz, fourth place (90 starters)

Dutchmen Invitational
Andrew Goelz paced Lebanon Valley at the 43rd annual Dutchmen Invitational held at Union Canal Tunnel Park on Saturday morning, Sept. 5. The Flying Dutchmen senior captain finished fourth overall while LVC earned a third place team finish out of eight squads.

Kutztown won the overall team title while LVC assistants Tim Hartung and Michael Harnish '15 came home 1-2 with Hartung running unattached and Harnish running for Keystone Track Club. Steve Maine of Kutztown finished third (26:13.28), Goelz was fourth, and Misericordia's Mikael Hause rounded out the top five (26:35.40).

Crossing the Line
Andrew Goelz's time of 26:30.53 was good enough to clinch fourth place while Chad Bomgardner was the second Dutchmen to earn a top ten finish thanks to ninth-place time of 27:00.53.

LVC runners Stephen Chappell (15th, 27:32.49), Noah Brady (16th, 27:33.90), Ian Brown (17th, 27:34.53), and Christopher Thorpe (27:42.47) successfully stuck together and all four earned top 20 finishes.

Nick Scullin (21st, 27:51.39) just missed out on a top 20 finish while Harrison Kelly (34th, 28:39.66), Michael Gang (36th, 28:44.54), Kyle Munro (37th, 28:47.54) came home inside the top 40. Dustin Shepler rounded out LVC's runners with a 66th place finish and a time of 32:32.17.

Still Got It
Lebanon Valley assistant coaches Tim Hartung and Michael Harnish '15 showed the youngsters how it's done by finishing first and second overall. Hartung, the former York (Pa.) standout, won the individual championship with a time of 25:52.53 while Harnish, one year removed from LVC competition, came home second with a time of 26:03.96. The top five trio of Hartung, Harnish, and Goelz are all related to LVC as coaches or runners.

What They're Saying…
"This is a very good team," said LVC head coach James O'Brien '07. "With more race-specific work over the next few weeks, I anticipate some very fast times at Lock Haven. Andrew Goelz led the way with a very strong effort up front, followed closely by Chad Bomgardner. I was particularly impressed by our 3-7 spread of Stephen Chappell, Noah Brady, Ian Brown, Christopher Thorpe, and Nick Scullin. If we can keep our pack tight and continue to improve we should be good to go later in the year."

Next Up
LVC will be back on the course Saturday morning, Sept. 12 at the Cougar Classic hosted by Misericordia.
