"We had a very solid meet,” stated Bryant coach Steve Oury. “Charlie Terry ran what may have been the fastest 5k time ever for a freshman at Bryant. He ran a great race.
“Connor Wilson also ran an outstanding race,” he noted. “Tyler Purtle was not feeling his best, but still fought hard and passed people in the last mile. Nicholas Schmidt has been very steady all year. He has really stepped up.
“I'm looking forward to seeing how we do next week at the Chile Pepper meet in Fayetteville," Oury said.
