RELEASE DATE: 7/01/09 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Mansfield men’s and woman’s cross country announces 2009 recruiting class
The class features seven men and nine women and is the largest recruiting class in Rohl’s nine seasons at Mansfield. “This is a nice class,” said Rohl. “We were able to recruit three state qualifiers in both the men’s and women’s programs and that’s something pretty special. We have a solid core of returners including the top three runners for both the men and the women. This class is really going to help us with balance and depth right from the start.” The men’s class is highlighted by Bud Plaszenski (Dubois/Dubois) who finished third overall in last year’s PIAA AA State Cross Country championship. Chris Hakes (Williamsport/Williamsport) participated in the AAA Cross Country championship while Orion Bernard (Shinglehouse/Oswayo Valley) was the District IX AA Cross Country champion. The women’s recruiting class is led by Bethany Coons (Pine City,NY/Southside) participated in New York State cross country, indoor and outdoor track championships this past season. Becky Kratz (Lederach/Souderton) finished as high as 38th at the PIAA championship as a junior while Kaitlin Chegwidden (Hamburg,NJ/Wallkill Valley) participated in the New Jersey cross country championship. The Mountaineers will open the 2009 season Lock Haven on Sept. 12 and will also travel to the Lucian Rosa Invitational in Parkside, Wisconsin as well has host the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional Championship. 2009 Mansfield University Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Recruiting Class Men Alex Beard (Wellsville/Dover) Women Margaret Bambling (York/Northeastern
