Birmingham, Ala.—The Middle Tennessee track team wrapped up the second and final day at the UAB Green and Gold Invitational. Both teams saw multiple winners emerge, and combined for a grand total of 26 top-five finishes.
Cecilia Francis placed Top-five in both the women's 60-meter dash and the 200-meter dash, and Willington Wright saw two top finishes for the men in the 200-meter and 400-meter.
Arguably the best event for the Blue Raiders was the one-mile run, as both the men and the women combined for six top-five finishers while winning both events. Freshman Mercy Chepkurui claimed the gold in in the women's one mile with a time of 5:10.53 and Brian Rono took first for the men with a time of 4:17.24.
