2007 Elizabethtown College
Men's Cross Country Preview

In 2007, the Elizabethtown College men’s cross country team will be vying for its ninth consecutive Middle Atlantic Conference title and a chance to better its sixth-place finish at the Mideast regional meet.

Led by senior Ryan St. Clair (Chambersburg, PA/Chambersburg) and junior Scott Derkacz (Huguenot, NY/Port Jervis) the Blue Jays look to continue their success this season. St. Clair finished 77th at the Mideast Regional meet last season, while Derkacz finished 25th at the MAC championships.

Juniors Jeremy Matula (Bath, PA/Northampton) and Dylan Rulander (Russel, PA/Eisenhower) also project to be among the squad's top runners along with senior Drew Graybeal (Woodbine, MD/Glenelg), who is one of the top track and field runners in the MAC. All three have experience at the conference and regional levels.

Sophomore Myles Lund (Berwyn, PA/Conestoga) will also be a contributor to the team, joining first-year students Chris Heisey (Middletown, PA/Middletown), Rich Greco (Holmdel, NJ/Holmdel) and Matt Myers (Pennsburg, PA/Upper Perkiomen).

After splitting the squad for a pair of early-season meets at Delaware Valley and Davis & Elkins, the Blue Jays will compete as a full team at the Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh University on Sept. 28.
