HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Three Eagles beat their collegiate 6K times as Georgia Southern capped the 2021 season by competing in the NCAA South Regional Friday morning at John Hunt Cross Country Course.

Running in just their second collegiate 6K, Katie Ranck (23:01.69), Isabel Clayton (25:23.82) and Melanie Tribick (26:46.56) all improved on their times from the FSU Open back on Sept. 17. Ansley Fullen ran her first collegiate 6K and recorded a time of 26:33.40.

Quotables from coach Kelly Carter
"This meet gave our freshmen some great experience going up against the best athletes in the South Region. They competed hard, and we had a few PRs, so getting this experience will pay dividends for us. I'm excited about the future with our distance program."
