TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (10/15/21) – Lexington Hilton claimed the men's open 8K title and Pauline Meyer posted the second-fastest 6K time in program history Friday morning, as the Arkansas State cross country teams competed in the FSU Invite/Pre-Nationals meet at Apalachee Regional Park.
Hilton clocked a personal-best 23:52.3 to lead the A-State men to a fifth-place team finish with 154 points. Following Hilton, Coleman Wilson was the second Red Wolf to finish, finishing in 27th with a personal-best 24:55.8. The Scarlet and Black finished ahead of a group from seventh-ranked Colorado.
Meyer, the Sun Belt Conference's reigning women's Runner of the Week, once again posted one of the top times in school history. The Gronau-Epe, Germany, native finished 50th overall in the Women's Garnet 6K with a time of 20:40.0, which is the second-fastest time in school history behind Kristina Aubert's 20:20.0 set in 2013.
A-State's women, including Meyer, clocked four personal bests on the day. Sophie Leathers finished in 22:05.0 while Elizabeth Martin recorded a finish of 22:26.1. Kayla Wade was the fifth finisher for the Red Wolves, running the distance in 23:07.5.
