UMBC will compete in the annual Paul Short Run presented by ASICS hosted on Lehigh University's Goodman Campus this Friday. This will be the 51st running of the annual meet.
The Paul Short Run will once again be split up over the course of two days, with high school races taking place on Thursday, October 2 and college races taking place on Friday, October 3. This year, more than 7,000 total athletes will compete, representing over 600 different high schools and colleges. Six high school races will be run on Friday while eight college races will occur on Saturday.
The Paul Short Run is in honor of the late Paul Short who served as Lehigh's Business Manager and Assistant Director of Athletics for 29 years. During his tenure at Lehigh, Short became an avid fan of Lehigh cross country and track and field. He was a 1934 graduate of Lehigh and Roger S. Penske/Lehigh Athletics Hall of Fame inductee in 2000 who excelled as a football, wrestling, baseball and lacrosse student-athlete.
