CANFIELD, Ohio -- The Allegheny College men's cross country team headed west Saturday to participate in the Youngstown State University Collegiate Invitational.

Allegheny was one of only five teams with enough finishers to post a team score, but was joined at the site of this year's fellow Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) championship meet by Geneva College, Hiram College, Thiel College, Waynesburg University, and Westminster College. The Gators finished fourth overall in the standings with 116 points.

Second-year standout Tyler Biss (Beaver, Pa./Beaver) continued his dominant season, leading the Gators and finishing 16th on the table with a time of 27:42.91. Biss was third among Division III and PAC runners, trailing only two from Geneva and a host of D-I athletes from Robert Morris University and YSU.

Freshman Lukas Czegan (Greensburg, Pa./Greensburg Central Catholic) was the second member of the Blue & Gold to cross the finish line. His efforts placed him 33rd after completing the course in 29:33.74. Fellow freshman Samuel Gwitt (Buffalo, N.Y./Nichols) and sophomore Max Bambeck (Dover, Ohio/Dover) also placed inside the top 40.
