THOUGHTS FROM COACH PIGG...
"It was a very hard fought battle with Lipscomb. I thought we competed very well but just missed out by a little. Nick led with way with an outstanding performance and personal best. Tyler Stahl finished third with another outstanding race and these two guys continue to do a good job of leading our program. Noah Perkins also ran very well finishing with a nice personal best. It was nice to have Fynn Timm finish fourth after running his fastest time and continue his strong season. Rob Leverone has made great improvements and I'm very proud of his efforts as it came through today. I wish we could have sent Tyler out with a win but I'm very proud of what we've accomplished so far this season."
WHAT'S NEXT
North Florida will compete at the NCAA South Regional meet on Nov. 10 in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
