Knoxville, TN. - Reinhardt University finished third in the men's standings and fourth in the women's standings at the AAC Conference Championships on Friday, Nov. 6, at Sequoyah Hills Park in Knoxville, Tennessee. Rylee Fisher led the women with a sixth-place finish. John Dodson paced the men in 16th place, while Milligan University won both team championships.
Fisher completed the women's 6K in 22:00, setting a school record and personal best against a field of 101 runners. The performance earned Fisher first-team All-Conference honors and NAIA qualification. Olivia Edwards followed in 19th with a personal-best 23:39, though Edwards' potential NAIA qualification remained dependent on Tuesday's rankings and the final national field. Kimberly Guerra finished 21st in 23:51, giving the Eagles three runners in the top 25.
Personal-best performances extended through Reinhardt's women's lineup. Jeny Graciano ran 25:37 and Trea Blalock finished in 26:40, each establishing a personal best. Teara Snider clocked 24:21, and Sara James completed the course in 26:08. The Eagles placed six runners in the top 50 and posted a team average of 23:54.
Running together for much of the men's 8K, Dodson and Noah Jones led Reinhardt through a field of 113 runners. Dodson finished in 26:07, while Jones took 19th in 26:30. Both qualified for the NAIA national field. Wes Fow added a 24th-place finish in 27:01, completing the Eagles' trio of top-25 finishers.
A closely spaced group behind the leaders added depth to the men's result. Uriel Guzman finished in 27:35, followed by Halsey Beall in 27:40, Ben Pearce in 27:43 and Jorge Mares in 27:44, putting those four Eagles within nine seconds of one another. Beall also earned All-Freshmen Team recognition. Noah Coleman crossed in 27:58 as Reinhardt placed eight runners in the top 50 and recorded a team average of 26:58.
William Baldwin led the remaining Reinhardt finishers in 28:10, with Anthony Garcia completing the race in 28:32. Sean Weeks ran 29:12 and Avery Green finished in 29:29. Aidan O’Sullivan rounded out the Eagles' men's lineup with a time of 30:03.
