Sep 16, 2022 | Men's Cross Country, Women's Cross Country

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – University of Memphis cross country completed races at the North Alabama Showcase in Huntsville Friday morning.

The men's and women's teams finished the meet with six new personal records and two top-25 finishes.

Chloe Figgins led the women's team with a new 5k PR (17:15.20), finishing 21st out of 384 female runners. Freshman Jazlyn Villarreal lowered her personal best in the 5k by 40 seconds (18:54.12).

On the men's side, Hudson Hurst was the first Tiger to cross the finish line for the 8k, placing 22nd with a PR time of 24:11.02. Vincent Chenier, Anton Michna and Jake Arnold all also turned in PR performances.

Payton Gleason and Zachary Wyatt came in second and third for the Tigers, finishing 28th and 32nd out 360 athletes, respectively.

"Both teams showed marked improvements," said cross country coach Ken Frenette. "The men did a great job packing it in from our first to fifth runner with less than a 30 second spread. We're looking forward to building upon our success we had Friday and in getting two good weeks of training in before our next race at Louisville."

The Tigers will continue their season at the Greater Louisville Classic on Oct.1.
