GETTYSBURG, Pa. - The Haverford College men's cross country team finished in second place Saturday at the 2009 Centennial Conference championship meet, trailing only repeat champion Dickinson College in the team standings.

Anders Hulleberg led the Fords in the 8-kilometer race with a fifth place finishing time of 26 minutes, 41.14 seconds that also earned the co-captain First-Team All-Centennial Conference honors.

Andrew Sturner, eighth, and Phil Eisemen, 10th, were next for the Fords, followed closely by Tim Schoch in 11th and Andrew Lanham in 12th. Those five combined for 46 points as Dickinson won the title with 16 points.

Sturner, Eiseman, Schoch and Lanham, along with 13th place Joe Carpenter and Elias Tousley in 14th, all earned Second-Team all-conference recognition. Falling just short of league honors were Eric Arnold in 15th and Chris Southwick in 16th place.

Greg Leak of Dickinson was the individual champion, racing to a winning time of 26:30.71 to capture the crown for the second year in a row.

The Haverford men will travel to Lehigh University for the next meet on the schedule, the Nov. 14 NCAA Mideast Regional, run on the same course as the Brooks-Paul Short Run from earlier in the season. The national meet follows one week later in Cleveland, Ohio.
