Moore Makes it Four with Win in Six-State GMI at Furman; Titan Teams Grab 5th
Thomas Moore built enough of a lead in the home stretch to overcome a muddy wipeout with 40 meters to go in the 43rd Gene Mullin Invitational on Saturday at Furman. The rain-soaked win (in 16:28) gave him four individual titles for the season.
The Titans stepped to the line without two of their top-7 runners, but got great fill-in performances to take 5th in the 40 team field. For the Lady Titans, 5th in the field of 35 teams, Mackenzie Morse (29th in 20:55), one day shy of her 16th birthday, once again lead a solid team effort.
Harper Sigler added another fine day to his streak of improving performances, taking 21st in 17:17. Dawson Frey maintained his spot in the middle of the Titan pack, contributing a 47th place finish (17:52). Andrew Cowick clocked 18:10 (63rd), and Jacob Ash had his first career top-five team finish, running 64th (18:12). Austin Joost (109th in 18:49) and Wanya Newton (162nd in 19:34) wrapped up top-seven scoring.
The Lady Titans' Gabby Huff-Streiter toured the three-loop golf course layout in 21:21, good for 41st place. Hollis Brown, up late on race eve with her sideline cheering duties, made the most of a short night's sleep, taking 59th in 21:48. Kate Mattison added another strong race to her season resume, taking 60th (21:49). Sophie Brown collected another top-five race with 74th in 22:12. Courtney Jones and Allie Dominicali rounded out top-seven places (94th in 22:33 and 116th in 23:06, respectively).
The JV girls, led by Anna Cobb (6th in 23:09) finished 4th (of 14). JV boys were 8th (of 20) as Daniel Smith set the pace (40th in 20:17). Peyton Coates, Komal Parikh, Amy Gayer, Rachel Sigler, Christina Vogt, and Maggie Morris contributed top-seven scores for the Lady Titans. Jon Hobus, Mchael Shirley, Colin McCormick, Zac Cason, David Harris, and Nicholas claimed team top-seven scores.
