Mann senior Laura Miller improved her time at McAlpine Park in Charlotte from last season to win the Wendy's Invitational race with a top time of the meet for 2012 of 17 minutes, 47 seconds. The time, a personal best, is currently 47th in the nation. 

Miller finished fourth last year with a time of 17 minutes, 56 seconds. 

Miller was awarded the Roy Bradley Outstanding Performer Award, meet management released Saturday night. The award is in memory of longtime North Carolina meet official Roy Bradley. Bradley passed away in September. 

Spartanburg's Evie Tate was sixth in 18 minutes, 23 seconds. Wando's Georgia Compton finished ninth (18:33). 

Blythewood's Mike Lantz finished fifth overall in the open 5,000 with a time of 15 minutes, 42 seconds - a new personal best. Lantz's time was the fastest for South Carolina at the meet. 

Gabriel Haughey of Daniel was sixth overall in the invitational race with a time of 15 minutes, 46 seconds - a cross country personal best.

Journal: Hayley Lyons 'remember to pace and be positive'

This week is a step-back week in my training, and it’s coming at the perfect time.  Not only have I been icing my knee all weekend, I think my mind needs a little rest from the long run before I up the mileage next week.

Journal: Hayley Lyons 'Just running because I love to run'

Intro:  Last night, after I submitted my journal for Week 5, I was on my laptop, when I kept coming across a race called the Ramblin’ Rose half-marathon in Charlotte, N.C., which isn’t too far from me.  I thought about it for all of five seconds before registering.  I’m already registered for two more half-marathons before the full, but the first isn’t until October—forever away!  Despite the fact that I had to pay late registration (yikes), it seemed like the perfect way to get my mileage in and experience race day at the same time.
