Nov 12, 2022 | Men's Cross Country, Women's Cross Country
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – University of Memphis cross country finished the NCAA Division I South Regional Friday with seven athletes bringing home new personal records.
Payton Gleason rounded out his collegiate cross country career by being the sole Tiger to earn All Region honors for his top-25 performance in the men's 10k (23rd, 30:20.80). This is his second consecutive year earning the honor, after last season's 24th-place finish. He paced the men's team a 12th-place finish out of 22 strong regional teams.
Along with Gleason's personal best 10k race, all four other male athletes finished the meet with new PRs, including Zachary Wyatt, Vincent Chenier, Anton Michna and Tate Wyatt.
Chloe Figgins continued her streak of being the first female Tiger to cross the finish line in the women's 6k (32nd in a field of more than 225 athletes). Her PR performance led the team to a 24th-place finish overall. Lauren Metzger was the final Tiger to turn in a new personal best, rounding out the top-three Tigers to finish in the 6k.
Tennessee and Alabama took home the titles for the men's and women's races, respectively.
"I'm proud of how the men's team came together at regionals and raced to finish 12th," cross country coach Ken Frenette said. "It was great to see Payton Gleason finish his college career on the trails for Memphis in earning All Region honors for the second time. Chloe Figgins also ran a great race, finishing 32nd with a new PR."
