LEBANON, Pa. – Noah Griffin finished sixth and Jordan Berger was ninth out of 216 collegiate runners to lead the Lebanon Valley men's cross country team to a fourth place finish at the 49th Dutchmen Invitational on Saturday morning at Union Canal Tunnel Park in Lebanon.
 
"This was a good result for our men" coach James O'Brien had to say about the race.  "Maybe just a tad behind how we looked last week. We were way faster than last year but still have some work to do if we are going to be relevant later in the season. Noah & Jordan opened up pretty fast and we have a nice grouping in the mid 27s. We'll get there."
