ILOUISVILLE, Ky. – Not one, but two Radford Cross Country program records were broken at the Live in Lou Classic on Saturday, courtesy of Nate Jennings and Hannah Moran.

Running an 8K this time out, the men were the first to hear the starting gun on the day and the Highlanders had a day to remember. Jennings paced the team with a time of 24:43.6, breaking the previous school record of 25:19.0 held by Dawit Legesse (2006).

Not to be overshadowed, Joshua Daggett also ran an incredible race, posting a time of 24:59.0 to move into 2^nd place in program history. Luke Richards was the next Highlander to cross the finish line, just missing the program's top-10 list with a time of 25:44.3.

Sam Sikora (26:11.0), Hayat Khan (26:34.6), and Clay Kelly (26:37.8) were the next trio to finish the race while Alejo Cobos (26:49.3), Adam Downs (27:13.2), and Nick McCumsey (28:21.5) rounded out the men's race for Radford.

On the women's side, this marks the second time already this season that Hannah Moran has toppled a record. The Salem, Va. native placed 8^th out of 399 runners and ran a 16:48.7, surpassing the previous mark of 17:28.8 set by current teammate Rachel Werking last spring.

Speaking of Werking, she was the second Highlander to finish and 61^st overall thanks to a time of 17:43.2. MacKenzie Gardner joined her in the top-100, placing 89^th with a time of 18:03.5.

Savannah Hoff (18:24.9), Rachel Millirons (18:31.7), and MegAnne Gilmore (18:42.2) each broke the 19-minute mark. Chloe Wellings (19:08.7), Abby Seigel (19:24.1), and Maddie Yancey (20:05.3) competed hard and completed the day for Radford.

As a team, the women finished 11^th out of 32 with 424 points, a great momentum-builder heading deeper into the season.
