BOCA RATON, FLORIDA - The University of The Bahamas cross country teams turned in respectable performances against a slew of powerhouse schools to start their seasons.

Lakeicia Lewis had the best performance for UB as she finished 152nd out of 178 competitors with a 25:54.8 performance. Fridline Augustine took 169th spot in 28:46.9 ; Kaiya Cambridge took 169th spot in 30.35.2; Kendera Munroe was 172nd in 31:12.4 and Sienna Mackey took 173rd spot in 32:16.4.

The women's team amassed 538 points to finish 18th.

"I think we did well overall competing against some strong division one schools," head coach Ednal Rolle said. "Both teams held their own. Cross country is all about team and you have to have a strong team because you are only as strong as your weakest link. Finding five solid long distance in The Bahamas is very difficult."

Both teams next compete 6 p.m. September 15, at The Keiser University Flagship Invitational.
