Jared Godsave takes first at SSAC invitation

The Shorter College Hawks cross country teams participated in their first "actual" meet in five years this past Saturday (Sept. 9).

"I was happy with how I ran today," said Godsave. "I wanted to try and break my [personal record] on the course and I came close, so I am happy with that. I think this was a good tune-up for Regionals."

For the ladies, Julie Murphy was the lowest finisher in the 5k (3.1 miles) with a time of 21:52.36. The women came in third for the day with a total of 95 points. Berry came in first with 25.
