LEWISBURG, Pa.--A pair of third place showing by freshmen Luke Fischer and Brian Guterl in the 1,000m and Mile runs respectively paced the Hawks at the Bucknell Winter Classic. The team ran a limited group of athletes in preparation for the Atlantic 10 Championships next week.

Fischer ran a time of 2:32.92 in the 1,000m trailed by fellow classmates Ryan Fenimore (2:33.45) and Jesse Brooks (2:34.64) fourth and fifth, respectively.

Guterl's time of 4:16.15 is the best this season by a Hawk in the Mile run.

Drew Brandt tallied a fourth place showing in the 200m dash with a time of 22.94. The men's 4x400m Relay (3:28.69) squad of Christopher Lau, Brian Doherty, Jared Sabre and George Arcarola finished fifth. Sabre matched that showing earlier in the day with a time of 51.71 in the 400m dash.

Brendan Kearney (1:57.60), Arcarola (1:58.43) and Doherty (1:58.54) all broke two minutes in the 800m en route to fourth, sixth and eighth place finishes.
