individual title to lead the way. She won the 4,000-meter event in a
time of 14:44.30. She defeated Georgia State's Sarah Howard by three
seconds for the win. The Yellow Jackets placed four in the top 10 to

with a 43-5 record.
The men's team won its second title in its last three events and placed
five individuals in the top 10 to record just 34 points. The Yellow
Jackets ended the day 39 points ahead of second-place Morehouse. Tech
