Trojans collect 3rd place: At the Ben Bloser Bulldog Invitational in Newville on Saturday, Chambersburg put 4 runners in the top 30 and ended up in third place in the team standings.

Red Lion (82) and Severna Park, Md. (102) bested Chambersburg (112).

“We ran fairly well, so I’d say it was a decent meet,” Trojan coach John Ambrosio said. “We ran the last three-quarters of a mile well, but we lost too many spots between the first and second mile.”

Liam Kirkpatrick earned fourth place with his time of 16:07.4. Other scorers were Kaden Rife (21st, 16:46.5), Aiden Alleman (26th, 16:54.4), Julian Clark (29th, 17:05.5) and Boston Vincenti (57th, 17:40.7).

Ambrosio said, “I was happy with Liam — he’s looking to be one of the best guys in District 3. And Boston had a good race — he beat every other No. 5 runner except Severna Park’s guy. We just need to bring our Nos. 2, 3 and 4 guys closer to out No. 2
