Five other Trojans on the men's side also claimed personal bests as Caden Blackman crossed the line at 26:39.96 (199th), followed by Riley Treadaway at 26:57.93 (227th), Patterson Graham at 27:00.61 (231st), Lane Watson at 27:09.55 (247th) and Bennett Phillips at 28:46.20 (340th).
In the 5k for the women, Alexiana Hinote continued her hot start by topping the charts for Troy for the second straight meet, finishing 168th at 18:57.12. Fellow newcomer Arianna Elder wasn't far behind as she crossed 0.6 seconds behind Hinote for 171st.
