EDINBORO, PA -- In conjunction with Edinboro University’s celebration of its Sesquicentennial, the Athletic Department is recognizing its all-time teams in a variety of sports.

Today we present the All-Time Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Team, along with the Men’s and Women’s Track & Field honorees. A total of twenty former players were selected, ten on each side, in cross country. The group is highlighted by the six former players who have earned All-American honors. Thirty-eight athletes were honored for their track exploits, along with four others who were recognized as members of the 4X100 relay team.

It bears noting that while many competitors probably could have been chosen to both teams, they were limited to one team or the other.

In particular, the cross country team has enjoyed a glorious past while under the direction of head coach Doug Watts. That includes four men’s runners who were national champions – Dave Antognoli, Greg Beardsley, Martin Lyons and Yi Min Wu. In addition, all ten runners who were three or four-year All-American were represented on the team. They include Lyons, Wu and Lisa Petsche, four-time All-Americans in cross country; and Antognoli, Luke Graham, Gennaro Manocchio, Carl Leonard, Carrie McKeon (’00), Amy Perry, and Chris Rauber.

Three other individuals were previously named to other Edinboro All-Time Teams, all now named to the track & field team. Billy Wade was also named to the Men’s Basketball All-Time Team, while Cleveland Pratt was named to the All-Time Football Team. Howard Hackley joined Pratt on the All-Time Football Team, and was part of the 4X100 relay team.
