GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Senior Kerrin Epstein (Moravia, N.Y./Moravia) won the women's race as the Gettysburg College cross country teams each finished 1-1 against Dickinson College and Franklin & Marshall College at the Little Three Meet Tuesday evening at Gettysburg College.

The Bullet men defeated Franklin & Marshall 15-47 but lost to No. 9 Dickinson 38-19. The Red Devils defeated F&M 15-50.

On the women's side, Gettysburg topped F&M 20-41 but dropped a close 30-26 decision to the 33rd-ranked Red Devils. Dickinson beat the Diplomats 20-41.

The race marked the 44th annual men's Little Three Meet and the 29th annual women's event.

Pacing Gettysburg's men was junior Clay Reynolds (Medway, Mass./Worcester Academy), who led a 5-6-7-8 Bullet finish in 16:14. Sophomore Brenden Repack (Merrimack, N.H./Merrimack) was sixth in 16:27 and was followed by senior Adrian Macdonald (Westwood, Mass./Westwood), who was seventh in 16:32, and senior Jeff Butterworth (Glen Mills, Pa./West Chester East), who was eighth in 16:33.

Greg Leak won the men's race in 15:58, edging out teammate Nick Karwoski by less than a second. The Red Devils claimed the top four men's finishers in the 52-man race.

Fritz finished third with a time of 19:40 in this year's race, placing just three seconds behind runner-up Sarah Romano of Dickinson.
