Negreann Places Second, Breaks Record in 10,000 Meters

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Goucher produced the runner-up in four events at the 2012 Landmark Conference Men's Outdoor Track & Field Championship. As a team, the Gophers wound up in fifth place by scoring 60 points during the two-day event which concluded today.

Will Evans III (Baltimore, Md./Overlea) was responsible for two of the four second-place performances as he finished behind only Chris Cook from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in the finals of both the 100- and 200-meter dashes. In the 100, Evans was clocked at 11.08 seconds; in the 200, at 22.75 seconds. In the 200 trials, however, he set a new outdoor school record with his time of :22.40.

Joey Negreann (Denver, Colo./Cherry Creek) was the runner-up in the 10,000-meter run. He completed the event in 31:48.12, breaking the school record of 32:09.30 established back in March 2001 by Jeff Olenick. Moravian's Dillon Farrell beat Negreann across the finish line by 1.6 seconds.

Negreann also placed fifth overall in the 5,000 meters (15:35.67).

Doug Falk (Barnegat, N.J./Barnegat Twp.) was one of three competitors who hadn't been knocked out yet by the time the bar was raised to 6-feet in the high jump competition. Only he was Jonathan Heberling from Moravian cleared that height, but Falk missed on all three of his attempts at 6-2 and settled for second place.

Lovell Kosh (Chester, Pa./Christiana) earned points for the Gophers in two events and set a new school record with his effort in one of them. He achieved a distance of 41-feet 9 3/4-inches in the shot put, good for third place, and then added a sixth-place finish in the hammer throw where his performance of 125-9 is the best in the history of Goucher's outdoor men's track and field program.

Nick Manta (North Wales, Pa./Abington Friends School) was the fifth runner to cross the finish line in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, doing so in 10:17.27.
