After an impressive showing at the prestigious Paul Short Invitational this past weekend, Widener moved into the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Top 35 Poll as the 28th-ranked team in the country.

A strong run against strong competition was plenty to get Widener sophomore Ernie Pitone (Springfield, PA) named the Middle Atlantic Conference Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Week.

Widener Cross Country had a successful day on the trails at the prestegious Paul Short Invitational on the campus of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa.

Senior Chris Garrity (Glenolden, PA) led Widener at the Main Line Invitational held in Haverford, Pa.

It was just another day at the office for Widener's men's cross country team, which captured the Delaware Valley Invitational in Doylestown, PA and saw all five of its runners place among the top 17.
