UTC Front Runner last warmup before GCAA CC Championship
CHATTANOOGA - The Darton State College Cavaliers averaged a fast 16:29 at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga's Front Runner Invitational 5K cross country race, Saturday, as they began to taper down for the GCAA Cross Country Championship, to be held this weekend in Albany.
Freshman David Thornton ran a 16:21.34, narrowly finishing before teammate Austin Stewart who ran a 16:22.97. The duo finished 33rd and 34th, respectively.
Sophomore Ean Crawford ran 16:26 to place 36th, Victor Kosgei placed 39th with a 16:45, and Jose Bautista ran 16:47 to place 43rd. Darton scored 160 points to finish 7th among a pool of D-1 university programs.
"It was a fast race," Darton head XC coach Bruce Skiles said. "Everybody out there was fast."
Hosts UTC won with 38 points and an average 5K of 15:13.
The Lady Cavaliers also finished 7th in the women's race, and averaged a 13:02 2-mile run. Alexis Skiles finished in 12:20 to be the first among the Lady Cavs to score. She placed 23rd, and was followed by Elena Oslund (12:45, 42nd), Amber Braswell (12:58, 45th), Jaishell Thomas (13:11, 51st ) and Victoria Parra (13:59, 61st).
It was the last race of Darton's regular season schedule. The program will host the 2013 GCAA/Region 17 Men's and Women's Cross Country Championship, Saturday, at Darton State.
The men's 8K is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m., with the women's 5K to follow.
Darton's men's and women's teams are both leading the conference. If both teams win Saturday, it will be the fifth consecutive conference sweep by the Darton program.
It looks like Lady Cavaliers Alexis Skiles and Oslund will battle for individual champion honors in the women's 5K, while the individual men's title could be a toss-up among Stewart, Chicas and Thornton.
