Buddenbaum, Foskey Lead Seahawks At CofC Invitational

CofC INVITATIONAL MEN'S RESULTS | CofC INVITATIONAL WOMEN'S RESULTS

JOHNS ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA – Junior Dakota Foskey and senior Casey Buddenbaum were the top finishers for UNCW as the Seahawks finished second in the women's race and third in the men's competition late Friday at the College of Charleston Cross Country Invitational.
 
The Seahawks, competing for the fourth time this fall, used the race at Trophy Lakes in Johns Island as a tune-up for the Colonial Athletic Association championships approaching on Nov. 1 in Boston.

"It was a solid performance, but it was disappointing to lose to the College of Charleston on both sides," said UNCW distance coach Layne Schwier. "Our men and women got a little behind. We were running well and trying to catch up, but couldn't.
 
"It's a similar situation as last year going into the CAA race. We know what we need to do. We are still bouncing back from three really hard weeks of training and I could tell this week that there was a lot of lingering fatigue."
 
Charleston won the 5K women's race with 37 points, followed by UNCW (70), USC Upstate (123), The Citadel (124) and Campbell (130) in the top-five.
 
Foskey, from Four Oaks, N.C., finished ninth out of 83 runners with a time of 18:47 to lead UNCW on the flat course.
 
On the men's side, USC Upstate took first place with 40 points, ahead of the next four teams of Charleston (56), UNCW (77), Winthrop (85) and The Citadel (102).
 
Buddenbaum led the Seahawks for the first time this season, covering the 8K layup in 26:28, good enough for 11th place out of 72 entries.
