Mingoes start cross country season with strong showing at top meet

WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA - The University of The Bahamas cross country teams had to fight through a thunderstorm weather delay to have several improved individual performances at the Keiser University Flagship Invitation Friday September 15th at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach.

Lakeicia Lewis had the best performance for UB as she finished 91st out of 121 competitors with a 23: 31.85 which represents an almost two minute improvement over the cross country meet three weeks ago (25:54.8 at Florida Atlantic University meet). Fridline Augustine took 111th spot in 26:22.42—another two minute improvement (28:46.9 at FAU meet); Sienna Mackey took 115th spot in 28.47.24 which is an almost four minute improvement over 32:16.4 at the FAU meet. Kaiya Cambridge took 116th spot in 29.02.99 and Kendera Munroe was 118th in 30:21.8.

"All of the women turned in personal bests for this meet," head coach Ednal Rolle. "That shows that what we have been doing is paying off and helped them to improve."

The women's team amassed 318 points to finish 11th.

Both teams next compete 7 a.m. September 30 at The UB Cross Country meet at The Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium.
