What happened
Tusculum could not challenge Coastal Carolina’s perfect 15-point score, but the Pioneers controlled the race behind the host. All five scoring runners finished between eighth and 15th.
Only 55.24 seconds separated Carson from Hayman. That compression limited the scoring damage and created a 24-point cushion over third-place UNC Wilmington.
Key contributors
- Macleay Kesby was 9th in 25:36.18; Coen Morgan 11th in 25:58.33.
- Jackson Wright was 13th in 26:09.30; Jason Hayman completed the scoring five in 15th at 26:30.23.
What matters next
The October 2 Firetower Project will test whether the pack can stay compressed on a different course while advancing its front edge. Maintaining the sub-minute spread should remain the first benchmark.
