ROCK HILL, S.C. - Charleston Southern sent a small group of mostly newcomers to run in the Winthrop/Adidas Invitational on Friday evening with the Buccaneers coming away with the team title from the meet and a perfect team score of 15 points.
Charleston Southern claimed the top eight spots at the meet with freshman Iwan Thomas winning the individual title by nearly 30 seconds with his time of 25:37.3. Jones Barber claimed second overall with a 26:06.7. Rogan Arriaga, Ben Sherrill and Brendan Hitchcock took 3-4-5 to complete the scoring with times of 26:20.4, 26:23.6 and 26:33.8.
Also running at the meet included Charlie Dance, Simeon Henson and Zac Henderson who claimed 6-7-8 overall in the field of entrees. They had times of 26:51.1, 26:53.7 and 26:57.7. Mason Raasch rounded out the field of Buccaneers taking tenth overall with a 27:18.3.
Next weekend, Charleston Southern student-athletes that did not race this weekend will be traveling to Lehigh for the Paul Short Invitational. The meet is scheduled to be raced on the morning of October 2 as the Bucs will be just four weeks away from the conference championship following that race.
