Junior Ecaterina Gheorghiu (18:22.00) took seventh and senior Kayla Conrad (18:43.90) finished ninth to complete UNF's scoring on the day.
The men's team ran in dominating fashion, grabbing the first eight spots and 11 of the top 15. Junior James Post grabbed his first career victory with a personal-best of 15:16.89. Senior Mike Strasser (15:45.16) took the runner-up spot and sophomore Chris Haynes (15:48.61) finished third, beating out seniors Cameron Dickerson (16:05.64) and Josh Brown (16:14.06), fourth and fifth, respectively.
Both teams will be back in action on Friday, Oct. 14, albeit in different places. The women's team will travel to Charlottesville, Va. to run in the Panorama Farms Invitational, while the men will run in the UCF Invitational in Orlando, Fla.
