Skyhawks place at 7th OVC Meet


The UTM cross-country team traveled last weekend to Morehead State University to compete in the OVC Championship. Both the men’s and the women’s team showed what the future looks like for the running Hawks.

The men’s team finished seventh with Robby Clapper leading the way. Clapper ran 27:26 for the 8k. The Hawks then packed it up with their next four finishers.

Darrell Lewis (27:41; 38th), Derrick Kenwright (27:46; 39th), Jeremy Coltharp (28:09; 41st), Ryan Wilson (28:23; 44th). All the men who ran set new Personal records for 5 miles.

The women’s team also had an impressive showing at the championships. Shalaine Phaup ran a new personal best of 19:04 and finished 15th overall.

That was one place shy of making the All OVC team. Angelina Gracian also ran her personal best of 19:49 and finished 32nd overall. Also racing for the Hawks was Michelle McCormack, Megan Vonderheide, and Cathy Bennett rounding out the top five for the women. The women’s team also finished seventh.
