5 Blue Knights Set Personal Bests at WC

Oct. 12th, 2012

In the fifth race of the fall season, five Blue Knight cross country runners ran personal bests at the Wilmington College Fall Classic on Friday night. Dylan McCubbin and Patrick Malloy on the men's side, and Jackie Smith, Jade Roark and Sara White from the women's team all broke personal records to pace the Blue Knights on a crisp autumn night. Neither team was able to log a team result as each ran a runner short of the five necessary to post a team score. However, the men's team average of 32:51.50 in the 8K would have been enough to defeat 3 of the 34 teams in the field, and the women's team average of 23:39.25 in the 5K was a season best and faster than at least one other team in the women's field.
