An overcast day provided the perfect running weather and Goldey-Beacom more than excelled against a strong field with the men's team winning the 20th GBC Fall Classic and the women's side ending sixth.
 
The Lightning ran away with the men's crown by scoring 36 points to second-place Stevenson's 67.  GBC also upended Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference foes Chestnut Hill and Holy Family.
 
Goldey-Beacom had finished in second place each of the last two GBC Fall Classics (2018 and 2019).
 
Sophomore Zach Landvik-Larsen (Stroudsburg, PA) closed second in 28:21.2, freshman Michael Marioni (Glendora, NJ) was fifth in 29:35.5, senior Chris Townsend (Voorhees, NJ) ended eighth in 30:14.3, freshman Micah White (Edison, NJ) was 11th in 30:30.5 and sophomore Chris Crossen (Magnolia, DE) closed 13th in 30:56.2.  Freshman Yusef Shakur (Townsend, DE) closed 20th in 32:05.5 and sophomore Kyle Scherer (Wilmington, DE) was 22nd in 32:17.0.
 
The men are ranked ninth in the East Region according to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Country Association (USTFCCCA).

The women ended with 140 points and Delaware notched a perfect score of 15 points.
 
Mikayla Cannon (Felton, DE) was 15th in 22:44.4, fellow freshman Maddie Cool (Smyrna, DE) ended 28th in 24:28.3, freshman Ny'Jashia Smith (Wilmington, DE) closed 29th in 24:29.9, sophomore Lilly Crone (Felton, DE) was 35th in 25:48.6 and freshman Hailey Crawford (Newark, DE) ended 50th in 29:04.7
