THOUGHTS FROM COACH PIGG...
"Eden had a very strong race. She looked comfortable in dominating a very solid field. Claudia Jalon, running her first meet for us, did very well and it was good to have her out there in our lineup. Audrey Carpenter ran the best race of her UNF career. She has worked hard and now we are seeing her take it to another level. Proud of the team's effort and the fact that we beat some good conference teams."
WHAT'S NEXT
North Florida returns to competition on Oct. 13 in the Crimson Classic hosted by Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The course will also host the NCAA South Regional meet in November.
