BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The 49th annual Lehigh Paul Short Run presented by ASICS is set for this Saturday, and Lehigh men's cross country will be competing in the men's Gold 8k. The Mountain Hawks last faced rival Lafayette in their annual dual meet race, claiming a 18-41 win over the Leopards.

Junior Aidan Lynch led the way for the Mountain Hawks in what was the team's 24th consecutive win over Lafayette, finishing first with a time of 24:52.91. Junior Kevin Harvey wasn't far behind, coming in second place (24:56.62) while first-year Noah Zahn (25:10.19) and sophomore Adam Barbato (25:13.02) rounded out the top five at fourth and fifth place. Zahn was awarded Patriot League Rookie of the Week for his efforts at the dual.

First-year Thomas Smigo (sixth, 25:16.30), first-year Ryan Baker (ninth, 25:35.68) and first-year Derek Coceano (tenth, 25:36.76) all finished within the top ten to help secure the win for Lehigh.

Last year, Lehigh placed 41st in the men's Gold 8k race, with the top three finishers for the Mountain Hawks being Connor Melko, Tyler French, and Nick Wilson. The Lehigh Paul Short Run begins with the men's Open 8k race at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. Men's cross country is scheduled to compete in the men's Gold 8k at 11 a.m.
