Complete Results

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Wofford College Sophomore Andrea Kelsey set a new Terrier record with an 18:42.50, while Trey Parker ran the second time in Wofford history under 26 minutes with a time of 25:56.78 at the Upstate Invitational at the Millikan Research Park Saturday afternoon.

Kelsey’s time was good enough for ninth place in the meet and was the third time a women’s cross country runner finished with a time under 19 minutes.  She broke teammate Nicole Klasnic’s school record of 18:48.2 in Charlotte, N.C. last season.  Kelsey’s time was seven seconds faster.  Early in the season, Kelsey turned in an 18:58.9 at the Eye Opener Invitational at the Millikan Research Park.

Terriers Kim Stauffer, 19:41.62, Sam Hughes, 19:44.84, Katie Kessler, 19:52.25, and Caitlin Dodd, 19:54.12, finished within 13 seconds of each other to round out Wofford’s top five.  All five Terrier runners finished in the top 25.  Stauffer, Dodd and Elizabeth Tapp, 23:07.84, all ran personal bests in the meet.

On the men’s side, Parker’s time of 25:56.78 was four seconds shy of breaking the school record.  His time was good enough for seventh place in the meet.  Mavrick Harris set a personal best with a time of 27:08.44 as he finished in 28th place. Russell Baker, 27:41.56, Matt Menard, 28:30.22, and Ben Boyles, 29:43.87, completed the Terriers top five runners.

The women’s team took fourth out of nine teams, while the men’s team finished in sixth out of nine teams.

The Terriers’ next meet will be in the Southern Conference Championship on October 30th in Boone, N.C.
