LEWISBURG, Pa. - A number of Red Raiders performed well on Saturday afternoon from KLARC Field House as Shippensburg completed its second and final day of competition from the Bison Open & Multi held at Bucknell University.

The 4x400-meter relay of sophomore Eric Wolfe, freshman Marcus Line, junior Todd Phillips and sophomore Kyle Raguz finished second in 3:26.16, four seconds behind West Chester.

Raguz was one-hundredth of a second short of the fastest time in the 500-meter dash, finishing in 1:07.89. He was one of four competitors from Friday's school-record setting DMR squad at Penn State who made the venture to Bucknell on Saturday for competition.

Another one of those runners was sophomore Ed Buck, who won the 800-meter run in 1:55.62. Senior Josh Neyhart finished fourth in the 3K with a time of 8:52.60.

A distance medley squad of junior Matt Gelety, Phillips, sophomore Pio Mandato and sophomore Stephen Schelander finished in 10:14.96, less than a second behind the team fielded by Lock Haven. Both teams ran the DMR at Penn State last night with other athletes.

In sprints, freshman Dan Speaks posted a time of 7.18 in the 60-meter dash, sophomore Terrance Topping-Brown completed the 60-meter hurdles in 8.90 seconds while freshman Marcus Line placed eighth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.83 seconds. Line (51.09) and Wolfe (51.12) were the leading 400-meter runnings.

Among field events, sophomore Travis Hammaker cleared 14 feet, 9 inches in the pole vault to finish third. Sophomore John Clark had the team's best long jump at 22 feet, 0.25 inches and placed third. Freshman Kyle Dickinson paced the triple jumpers at 43 feet, 10.75 inches.    

Shippensburg will once again split its roster next weekend and compete in two meets. The Red Raiders will send one faction to the New Balance Games in New York on Friday and Saturday and another group to East Stroudsburg's DeSchriver Classic on Super Bowl Sunday.
