Old Goats compete at USATF Club National Championship

Saturday, Dec. 14 2019 a squad of Austin, Matt Rabasco, Dan Mortimer, Kyle Gerlach, Dave for the men and Emily (and superfan Gwenyth) for the ladies journeyed to Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA to make the club's first appearance on the national stage. The conditions were tough, with constant rain that made the course a mud bath although temps were in the mid 40s. This event had the highest total participation for any championship event USATF has ever put on! Emily took the course first in the women's open race in a field of 407, with a 356th place finish in 26:28 on the 6k course. The men's field of  628 ran next on the 10k course and the goats were led by Austin's 188th place finish in 34:02. Matt Rabasco was 470th in 37:38, Dan Mortimer was 483rd in 37:51, Kyle Gerlach was 506th in 38:20 and Dave Goodrich was 522nd in 38:52. Old Goat Track Club finished 63rd out of 76 in what was an extremely memorable and fun event! Go Goats!
