EVENT NOTES
  • The Golden Knights were competing in a live race for the first time in 476 days after seeing the fall schedule canceled and competition pushed to the spring this year.
  • Due to course conditions, the 5k run took place as a road race at Lower Creek Road just south of Lock Haven.
  • Mandel led the Knights with a 16th-place finish in the field of 35. It was the sophomore's first time as the top Gannon finisher in a race.
  • The top seven runners for the Knights were sophomores, getting their first action after the class played a large role on last year's team.
 
UP NEXT
  • Gannon continues its sprint of a 2021 spring season next weekend, hosting the Gannon Invitational with Mercyhurst and Clarion on Saturday.
  • Course conditions may necessitate a change in venue from Pleasant Ridge Park to another location. That information will be communicated early next week.
