AUGUSTA, KAN., FEB. 6, 2021 – The USF men's cross country team turned in an eighth-place finish and the women's team posted a 10th-place showing on Saturday at the American Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships.
Sophomore Nickolas Kamen (Naples, Fla.) was the top finisher on the men's side with an 8K time of 26:30.80 on his way to placing 47th overall. Kamen has now paced the Bulls in both meets thus far this season after winning the UCF Cross Country Invite last month with a time of 25:02.01.
Sophomore Alexandra Weir (Toronto, Ontario) led the women's team with a 38th-place finish and a 6K time of 22:52.60.
"Today's championship offered another valuable learning experience," USF head coach Erik Jenkins said. "Growth comes in all forms and success almost never comes in a straight line. We will learn and proceed forward."
USF returns to action Friday, March 5 when the Bulls head to Tallahassee, Fla., to take part in the FSU Invitational.
