EVENT NOTES
  • Mandel and Personius finished 25th and 29th, respectively, to each earn their first All-PSAC honors. The duo made it back-to-back years for the Golden Knights to put two on the all-conference team.
  • Garich narrowly missed out on being a two-time all-conference performer, but his 31st-place finish went a long way in helping the Golden Knights to their best team finish in their PSAC era in fifth.
  • Mandel, Uhl, Insinna and Vezza all put up their best finish in a PSAC championship meet. Personius, Chelton, Queiroz, Dietrich and Kloss were all participating in their first conference race.
 
UP NEXT
  • Gannon's quick spring 2021 season is now complete. The Golden Knights look toward the 2021 season in the fall.
