MEET RESULTS
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Michael Lantz continued his surge as one of the top runners in the Southern Conference, placing second among Division I competitors at the Upstate Invitational on Saturday.
Lantz finished behind Luka Ndungu of Florida Gulf Coast and two unattached runners to place fourth overall and second in Division I among 127 total runners. The junior finished the 8K course in a time of 25:13.82 to set a new personal best in the distance. Lantz beat his top time from this season at the Will Wilson Citadel Invitational by more than a minute and a half.

Alex Cothran and Eric Avalos rounded out the Bulldogs' scoring, placing 38th and 41st, respectively.
The women's team placed seventh overall, led by Caillian Colquitt who placed 24th among Division I competitors. The senior finished the 5K race in 19:14.73, hitting her best time of the season.
Grace Jenkins returned to the course, finishing second for the Bulldogs and 45th overall in 20:14.60. Daniela Sanchez-Martin placed just one spot behind Jenkins in 46th, crossing the finish line in 20:30.98. Jordan Neeley took 50th in 20:47.66 and Emani Little capped off the Bulldogs' scoring with a 52nd place finish in 21:02.83.
