Goetz 7th at Old Timers Classic

Bowling Green, KY - Bryan College finished 5th out of 13 programs, when it competed at the 26th Annual Paul Turner Old Timers Classic.  Junior Daniel Goetz (Chattanooga, TN) led the way for the Lions over the 5-mile course at Kereiakes Park and hosted by Western Kentucky University, when he finished 7th with a time of 25:37.20.  Jacob Korir of Eastern Kentucky led his team to the championship with an individual vicotry in 24:56.73. 

Sophomore atheltes Zach Buffington (Ooltewah, TN) and Josh Bradley (Ringgold, GA) were 30th and 33rd with times of 26:43.97 and 26:59.48 respectively.  Freshmen Bryson Harper (Pikeville, TN) and Junior Andrew Dorn (Chattanooga, TN) rounded out the scoring for Bryan with 37th and 47th place performances of 27:16.03 and 27:57.18. 

"Our boys are coming along very well, and it didn't hurt that the weather was ideal.  It was good to see Goetz running like he is capable.  Buffington had a rough time in the middle miles, but held on nicely and Bradley is making the transition from a middle distance runner's mindset. These two are continually learning about themselves and competing at higher levels.  Harper has loads of talent and it will be fun to see how much closer he gets to the older athletes as the season progresses.  I was most happy with Dorn's effort today and how Hunter Hall was their as well.  We had to pull Zach Mobley out just after three miles with a small foot injury, but he'll be good to go in two weeks in Louisville," said head coach Rodney Stoker.

The men will return to action when they compete at the Greater Louisvlle Classic on September 29th.
