DELAWARE, Ohio -- Senior Grant Scott (Yellow Springs, OH/HS) and junior Ian Ramsey-North (Narberth, PA/Friends' Central) became their team's first pair of Top 35 All-Americans in the same year Saturday, leading Haverford to its own highest NCAA finish, and the best-ever by a Pennsylvania institution, in the 33-year history of Division III cross country.

The combined individual place-finish of Scott (14th, 25:55.8) and Ramsey-North (29th, 26:15.9) was the best by Haverford's first two runners at nationals, improving on the respective 12th- and 39th-place efforts of Mike Sheely (12th) and Phil Schuchert (39th) in 1982.

Sophomore Don Letts (26:38.6), junior Zach Vaslow (26:48.7) and senior Brian Scott (26:50.7) came home in places 42-54-57 as the Fords were edged for second, 117-118, by defending champion Calvin, led by third-place junior Tim Finnegan (25:28.9). A pair of individual entries, Williams College senior Neal Holtschulte (25:13.8) and Widener University junior Macharia Yuot (25:26.5), captured the first two places in the 8K race at Dornoch Golf Club.

By improving on their fourth-place mark of a year ago, Haverford equaled the previous best finish by NCAA Mideast Region team, a third-place performance by Glassboro State in 1982. The Fords' current run of 13 consecutive trips to nationals (1993-2005) and 24 total appearances since 1978 under 31st-year head coach Tom Donnelly both rank third in NCAA III.

Haverford will travel to Dornoch Golf Club in Delaware, Ohio for next Saturday's NCAA Division III Championships, hosted by Ohio Wesleyan University. The Fords' current run of 13 consecutive trips to nationals (1993-2005) and 24 total appearances since 1978 under head coach Tom Donnelly both rank third in NCAA III.
