Despite coming in very accomplished (9:05.91 for 3,200 as a prep), Dannemi- a fantastic 2007-2008 campaign. In the fall, the Big Red continued their improvement under ller improved greatly in 2007 and was the strongest freshman for the Big Red in many years. At the tutelage of men’s distance coach Robert Johnson. In 2007, the Big Red improved for the Pre-NCAAs, Dannemiller posted a stellar 24:50 clocking for 8k and at Heps, he was the second fourth straight year and enjoyed its finest season in 13 years, finishing as the conference run- freshman across the line as he finished 22nd overall. ners-up and running the fastest five-man average (25:06.5) in school history at historic Van “I think everyone, including myself, is very excited to get the 2008 season going. We got Cortlandt Park. The Big Red distance men carried that momen- General Information General tum into the track season, as the distance group outscored their Heps rivals by a wide margin both indoors and outdoors and played a key role in the Big Red’s record-breaking wins at both the indoor and outdoor Ivy League championships. The 2008 Big Red men return five runners who have run 25:35 or better at Van Cortlandt Park, in- cluding three seniors. Expected to lead the team up front will be senior Zac Hine. Hine comes into the season full of confidence after excelling in all three Meet the Coaches seasons in 2007-08. In cross-country, he became the 13th Cornellian to break 25:00 at Van Cortlandt Park as he clocked 24:55 to finish eighth and garner sec- ond team All-Ivy honors. Indoors, Hine captured his first Heps title as he won the 5k after scoring in the 3k. Outdoors, he was again a double scorer as he was the runner-up to teammate Sage Canaday in the 10k and was fourth in the 5k. Senior Sam Luff will captain the squad in 2008. Season Outlook The Emmaus, Pa., native and Industrial and Labor Relations student enjoyed an improved junior cam- paign as he lowered his Van Cortlandt Park personal best from 25:55 to 25:31 while earning All-East honors with a 10th-place showing at the IC4A close to the top of the mountain last year, and the guys have been working very hard for a year meet. In track, he set PRs in the 5k (14:35.89) at the Penn Relays and in the 10k (30:34.67) at to take that next step,” said men’s distance coach Robert Johnson. “This team has the best team Bucknell. Even during the off season, Luff has provided the team with inspiration and cohesive- dynamic of any of my teams so far, and I’m hoping that synergy, combined with talent, ends ness with summer training guidelines and a mid-August running mini-camp in Pennsylvania.
