MANSFIELD, Pa. - The Shippensburg men's cross country program placed all five of its scoring runners among the Top 7 finishers on Saturday in the 10K race at the Mountaineer Flatland Invitational to run away with the victory. The Raiders also placed third in the 6K race.

Junior Bryan Beegle won the 10K race by five seconds with a time of 32:04 that is a 15-second improvement from his previous personal-best that earned him an eighth-place finish and an all-region award at last year's 2008 Atlantic Regional Championship competition.

Stepping up with a stellar performance was junior Jeremy Brady, who averaged a 5:11 mile to finish third overall with an impressive time of 32:17 that improved his personal-best from 2007 by five seconds. One second behind him in fourth place was sophomore Stephen Schelander, who finished in 32:18 to improve his personal-best time in the 10K by 93 seconds.

Continuing the Shippensburg pack were juniors Ethan Rissell and Sean Stetler, who finished in sixth and seventh place respectively. Rissell finished the course in 32:41 and Stetler was just two seconds behind him, navigating the course that will host the Atlantic Regionals later this year.

Freshman Matt Gillette continued his outstanding start to the 2009 campaign with an outstanding 10K collegiate debut, placing ninth with a time of 32:45. Sophomore Brandon Boyer rounded out the Top 7 with an 11th-place finish in 32:57.

The Red Raiders divided their runners between two distances of competition, and redshirt senior Dillon Gracey was the leader of the pack for SU in the 6K competition. Gracey completed the shorter course in 19:06, earning fifth place behind the top-four runners on the Lock Haven squad.

Freshman Ed Buck impressed with an eighth-place finish in 19:11, while junior Matt Gelety and sophomore John Reilly finished in 10th and 11th place respectively by posting times of 19:21 and 19:24.

Shippensburg's next race will be an all-out competition against a multitude of Division I programs at the Brooks Paul Short Run hosted by Lehigh University. That event will be held on Friday, October 2.
