"On the men's side we were missing some key people in the race," said head coach Cassandra Goodson. "With that being said, we had a few people step up and help the team. The women did a good job of finding each other on the course. There's still more there as far as team scores go but overall I am confident we will re-group and learn from these races."
Lucas Kiprotich led the way for the Eagles coming in fourth overall (25:37.8, season best) in a field of over 300 runners. On top of placing in the top 10 of each meet this year, his fourth overall finish becomes the highest in program history at the Mountain Dew Invitational – Johnathan Lanning placed sixth in 2010. Boniface Mutai crossed the line in 27th while Jan Figueroa rounded out the top 50 coming in 41st. Bradyn Ricca and Cole Pruim were the final runners to score for the men, coming in 67th and 105th, respectively.
Gianna Citarella paced the women's team with season-best 5k mark (19:51.5) coming in 67th overall. Jillian Felton etched another season-best time finishing 73rd (19:59.2) as Emily O'Connor placed 79th to round off the top 100. Julia Filip and Madeline Wyers were the final Eagles to score as they crossed the end line 117th and 153rd, respectively.
The eventual winner for the men's and women's meets was Florida while the individual winner was Nathan Jubran of UNF for the men and Jessica Pascoe of UF.
