ANNVILLE, Pa. — Will Evans (Baltimore, Md./Overlea), Zach Martin (Victor, N.Y./Victor Central) and Phelan Shea (Cambridge, Mass./Oliverian School) all broke school records while representing Goucher today at the Lebanon Valley Invitational.

For Evans, it was in the high jump where he took first place with an effort of 6-feet. For Shea, it was in the 300-meter dash where he was clocked at :40:07, also good for first place.

Evans also placed third in the 55-meter dash (:06.84) and was on Goucher's 4 x 400-meter relay team along with Steven Tenure (Sudbury, MA/Lincoln-Sudbury), Adam Scipione (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) and Scott Wenzler (Larchmont, N.Y./Mamaroneck) that placed third overall (3:53.27).

There was one other first-place performance for the Gophers: Chris Litz (Bel Air, Md./John Carroll) in the pole vault. The junior earned 10 points toward Goucher's team total by clearing 13-feet.
