HUNTINGDON, Pa. – With many runners coming off of solid performances during the cross country season, the Juniata College men's indoor track & field team will look for continued success in the Landmark Conference. The men picked up a fourth place finish at the Landmark Championships last year.
The Juniata men are again slotted to finish fourth in conference, based on the preseason poll as voted on by the league's coaches. The Eagles earned 25 points in the poll.
Moravian earned the top spot with 47 points and four first-place votes and is returning a squad that combined for eight All-Conference honors. Susquehanna picked up the remaining two first-place votes to be picked second with 39 points. USMMA was picked third with 29 tallies to round out the top three.
The Eagles return three of the four runners who clinched second in the Distance Medley Relay at the Landmark Championships, senior Connor Robinson (Asheville, N.C./Asheville), sophomore Ryan Bogdan (Buffalo, N.Y./Canisius), and junior Trevor Stephens (Bethesda, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase). Senior Nate Alter (Pittsburgh, Pa./Taylor Allderdice) finished third at the championship meet last year in the 5000 meter run.
