Jaxon Salata shot a 76 for BC3, Mitchell Covert tied his lowest score this fall with a 77 and Jeremy Scheidt had an 83. Ellis Rae and Bodie Spohn added 86s for the Pioneers.

Proceeds from runners, walkers and kids’ dashers, sponsors and donors benefit BC3’s intercollegiate athletics programs that have won 59 Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference and 29 National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Region 20 championships. BC3’s programs have qualified for national championship tournaments 13 times and produced 40 All-American awards. “I think the community is really proud of our athletics programs,” said Megan M. Coval, BC3’s president, “and has a great appreciation and admiration for how hard our student-athletes work. They are doing their best in the classroom and many of them have jobs. Then they go out there on the court or course and come home winners.”
