Lock Haven, Pa. -
Rock All-America performer Jeff Weiss rebounded from a sub-par performance last week in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championship meet to claim individual honors in Saturday's NCAA Division II East Regional meet.
His effort led The Rock to a second-place team finish, which earned the Green and White a berth in the national meet Nov. 17 in Joplin, Mo.
The Rock finished second behind Edinboro for the second successive week.
In women's action, Jaime Wright's fifth-place individual effort led The Rock to a seventh-place team finish.
Wright's performance Saturday earned her an individual berth in the national championship meet in Missouri.
She and Weiss were two of five Rock runners who earned all-region honors as a result of their performances Saturday
Pat Reagan finished one spot behind Weiss in the men's race with a second-place time of 31:01, while Matt Bluman -- who won the PSAC individual title a week ago -- placed fourth Saturday at 31:14 and Chris Geddis finished 14th at 31:56.
The top 15 individual finishers in the regional meet garnered all-region honors.
George Walton's 37th-place time of 32:52 accounted for The Rock's fifth men's finisher.
Katie Bork was SRU's No. 2 finisher in the women's race with a time of 22:22, while Leslie Kramer placed 38th at 23:02, Sarah Thompson was 48th at 23:21 and Rebecca Younger was 72nd at 23:44.
Edinboro won the men's team title by an 11-point margin over SRU (47-58), with Lock Haven in third place at 95 points.
Bloomsburg won the women's team title with 62 points. SRU finished with 177 points.

Weiss also won the regional individual title as a freshman in 2005 and was the regional runner-up a year ago. He earned All-America honors with a No. 3 national finish in 2005 and a No. 15 finish last fall.
