Lady Cavs take second at Darton Invitational

September 3, 2013

ALBANY – In the women’s collegiate 5K, sophomore Elena Oslund finished 3^rd overall with a total time of 21:06 to lead the Lady Cavaliers to a second place finish.

“She’s pretty strong,” Skiles said. “I think she can get down into the low 19s, 19:30, somewhere in there with the right weather and the right course.”

Darton scored 36 points to place behind Point University’s 21 points. South Georgia finished 3^rd with 97 points while Central Georgia Tech finished last with 122 points.

Lady Cavaliers Amber Brasswell (22:25), Kaitlyn Winter (22:40) and Jaishelle Thomas (22:45) finished 6^th, 7^th and 8^th, respectively. Victoria Parra ( 23:55) finished 12^th overall to complete Darton’s score.

Darton looked like a pair of fifth consecutive conference championships is well within reach. The program will travel to Americus for the Georgia Southwestern State Invitational, Saturday. The women’s race begins at 8:30 a.m. followed by the men’s 8K at 9 a.m.

The Cavaliers will race again at Darton on Sept. 28, and plan on hosting the Georgia Collegiate Athletics Association Championship on Oct. 26.
