THOUGHTS FROM COACH PIGG...
"It was a good day for our guys at a meet that had many top teams. It was nice to see where we stack up. The men were in a great battle that saw us compete very well but come up just a little short of where we hoped to finish. Many of the guys ran their best collegiate races. Nick Morken ran very strong to lead the group. Nick continues to get stronger and is realizing how good he can be in cross country. Tyler Stahl has been extremely consistent senior leader who always performs well and ran a tough race today. Noah Perkins is also racing so well right now and it was nice to see him get a PR in a run very similar to his practice runs. The top three guys did a great job of working together during the race. Fynn and Rob rounded out the Top 5 and they both just keep getting better. We are right on track to perform our best at the ASUN Championships."
WHAT'S NEXT
North Florida heads to the ASUN Championship meet on Oct. 28 in Kennesaw, Ga.. The Ospreys are the defending conference champions.
