CHARLESTON – The Buccaneers 2024 outdoor regular season came to an end on Sunday at the CSU Last Chance meet. Multiple student-athletes set new personal bests during it as they looked to move up the national leaderboards to claim their spots in the NCAA Regionals.

Charleston Southern also had competitors in the 800m and the 1500m at the meet. In the 1500m, Griffin Gillespie ran a personal best with his time of 3:49.20 to take second in the field.
