After making it to the final round as the top qualifier, Birmingham again finished first. She ran a time of 7.33, which broke her own school record by two hundredths of a second.
Rilee Rigdon showed she is not only a force on the cross-country course, but also a good runner on the track. She won the 800 meters, beating out veteran teammates. She crossed the line with a time of 2:08.70.
Assistant coach Josh Langley said he was impressed by her race.
“Rilee had a gusty race,” Langley said. “She ran tough and closed out well.”

On the men’s side, Garrett Calhoun finished as the runner-up in the 800 meters. He ran a 1:51.73, which was his season’s best time and missed out on a personal best by three hundredths of a second.
