The Chattanooga women’s outdoor track and field team is headed to Lee University this Friday for the Fast Break Invitational at the Ray Conn Sports Complex.
“Coach Morgan at Lee is putting together a great meet in the distance events and will give our groups a good opportunity to compete against some strong competition Friday night,” Mocs assistant coach Patrick Gildea said. “Some of our women will line up in the 1500m, while we'll have a group of men and women in the 5,000m as well as a trio of men in the 10,000m.”
The women’s 1500 meter with Lexi Foley, Anna Roberson, Olivia Steele, Taylor Crawford, EV McGowan and Michaela Dabney runs at 4:10 p.m. Friday afternoon. That will be followed by the women’s 5000 meter run with Lesley Boyd, Maddie Wheatcroft, Leah Boyd, Brooke Tyll, Andrea Ellis, Audrey Wade, Ellie von Herrmann and Emma Thweatt at 5:45 p.m.
Several of the men will run unattached for this event including Jack Martin, Aaron Isbell and Eamonn O’Bryant in the 10,000 meter run at 8:05 p.m. The men’s 5000 meter with Tristan Gould, Derek Mitchell and Riley Hanson will run between the women’s two races with a 5:05 p.m. start time.
“We're giving the sprint women the weekend off with some well-deserved rest,” Gildea added. “Everyone's training has been going well with no major hiccups so we're looking forward to giving it another effort at Lee.”
