BETHLEHEM, PA. - On Friday, the men's cross country team competed at the Paul Short Run hosted by Lehigh finishing fourth out of 42 teams. The three teams that finished ahead of the Big Green — Virginia, Gerogetown and William and Mary — are all ranked nationally. Dartmouth finished with 170 total points with junior Ethan Shaw (Falmouth, Maine) leading the way in 14th place with a time of 24:14.

"Ethan did a great job leading the team," said Head Coach Barry Harwick. "And he did it competing against some of the top runners in the nation."

Dartmouth defeated four other Ivy League schools as Columbia finished seventh, Cornell was ninth, Penn was 15th and Brown was 23rd. The team winner was 22nd-ranked Virginia with 132 points, 24th-ranked Georgetown finished second (149 points) and 28th-ranked William and Mary finished third (170 points).
