HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -
Paul Kraemer broke Evans Kirwa's 8K school record on Saturday morning at the University of Alabama-Huntsville Invitational at John Hunt Park. Kraemer broke the record, that had stood for over a decade, with a fourth-place finish in a stacked field, running the race in 23:46.00, more than 19 seconds faster than Kirwa's time at the Sand Shark Invitational (Oct. 20, 2012).
Embry-Riddle - 209 points [4-33-42-46-84Â (111) (142)]
ERAU's total time of 2:02:20 for the top five Eagles was almost certainly the best in program history, with a spread of 1:24 between the Eagles' top finisher and fifth finisher. The Blue and Gold, ranked No. 30 in the most recent USTFCCCA national poll, only finished behind five NCAA II top-25 squads, and were just a few points shy of besting host UAH for fifth.
