BRADFORD, PA – Hilbert College freshman Zach Bye (Scotia, NY/Scotia-Glenville), running his first collegiate cross country meet, sprinted by Univ. of Pitt-Bradford’s John Cambell to win Friday’s 2.8 mile race in Bradford, PA.

Bye’s time of 17:34 was one second better than Cambell’s 17:35 finish, but the host Panthers topped the Hawks 24-33 to win the dual meet and avenge an earlier season loss at Hilbert back on September 23rd.

The Hilbert College men’s cross country team will travel to the Robert’s Wesleyan College Invitational on Saturday, October 15th for an 11:00 AM meet, before heading to the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Championships on October 29th.
