Greensburg, Pa. - The Penn State Greater Allegheny cross country team competed in the Pitt-Greensburg Invitational, Saturday morning

The women's heat saw 76 competitors, all being NCAA Division III universities. Sophomore Rachel Ramsey (North Versailles, Pa./East Allegheny) finished 11th overall with a time of 20:29. Freshman Amanda Trimble completed the race in a season-best time of 24:42.

The men's 8k saw a total of 72 runners, one of which was Greater Allegheny freshman Codie Buglar (Elizabeth, Pa./Yough). Buglar placed 47th with a time of 32:37, a personal best for the freshman.

Greater Allegheny's next meet will be the Penn State University Athletic Conference Championship at University Park next Saturday.

"Ramsey will be going for the individual title this year, as she placed 2nd last season," said head coach Mark Bacco. "Sophomore Melissa Loftus (Oxford, Pa./Oxford) and Trimble are aiming for All-Conference honors for the women alongside Buglar going for All-Conference accolades as well. The women's team competition should be a close contest as any one of the four schools having a shot at winning the PSUAC Championship, including our women student-athletes."

On Saturday, October 11th, the men's race is an 8k, which is set to begin at 10 a.m. The women's race is a 6k, which aims to start at 11 a.m.
