ITHACA, N.Y. — Men's Squash will welcome four newcomers to its 2013-14 team, Head Coach Mark Devoy announced today. Kevin Flannery, Harry Freeman, Augie Jones and Gustav Runersjö will join the Big Red, which returns eight letterwinners from a squad that posted 16 victories and an upset of top-ranked Princeton last year.
 
Flannery joins the Big Red from powerhouse Episcopal Academy in Newtown Square, Pa. He helped the program capture its last three of four consecutive high school national championships, co-captaining the 2012-13 squad.
 
Freeman is a product of West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver, British Columbia. Playing out of Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club, Freeman is currently the fourth-ranked junior in British Columbia and ninth-ranked junior in Canada. He will give the Big Red a representative of western Canada for a fifth consecutive year, following the four-year careers of brothers Chris Stinson and Stephen Stinson from Richmond, B.C.
 
Hailing from Long Island, Jones competed for four years at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. He served as the team captain in 2012-13, when he was named to the All-Mid-Atlantic Squash Association First Team. He was named to the All-MASA Second Team in 2011-12.
 
Runersjö will compete as a sophomore this season, bidding to become the first native of Sweden to compete for the program since Patrik Kempe and Andreas Lofquist in 1997-98. Competing out of Stockholm Squash Club, Runersjö has been a fixture in the country's top league, Elitserien, since 2008. He is a two-time winner of the the Swedish National Championship Men's A category for players ranked 17th or lower. He had three top-four finishes at the Swedish National Junior Championships from 2007-09 and competed with the national team at the Men's U17 European Championship (2007), Men's U19 European Championship (2008-09) and Men's U19 World Championship (2008).
