CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel men's and women's cross country teams had another strong showing this weekend as the men took second and the women finished fourth at the College of Charleston Invitational.
Michael Lantz (25:46.8) and Ross Jordan (26:05.7) led the pack again, taking first and second overall in the 8k race; James Cunningham and Matthew Gill finished seventh and eighth. College of Charleston placed first as a team with the Bulldogs following close behind in second with a one-point margin separating the two schools. Pfeiffer and Armstrong State rounded out the competition in third and fourth, respectively.
"I'm pleased with our first 8k for the men. Mike Lantz and Jordan Ross ran very well," head coach Jody Huddleston. "Always disappointing to lose by just one point but our top five raced well and looked very strong. Erin Leonard is doing an outstanding job and we look forward to racing the Cougars again in a few weeks."
College of Charleston took the women's 5k heat as well, with The Citadel finishing fourth behind Towson and Pfeiffer. Grace Jenkins was the first Bulldog to cross the finish line with a time of 24:36.0. Bethany Reeves (25:27.2) followed closely behind.
"The women looked much stronger this week we still have a few little injuries and some sickness right now," Huddleston said. "Jenkins had a very good race as did Emani Little and Reeves. We are off next weekend and have two weeks to get ready for our home meet. Erin will have them ready and I expect they will show much improvement as she gets them ready for the SoCon championships."
Both teams have a week off before competing in the Will Wilson Citadel Invitational. The annual race, hosted by The Citadel, will be held in Mt. Pleasant on Sept. 29 at 9 a.m.
