BULLDOG BITES
Last Time Out – Carolina Challenge
On the first day of the two-day Carolina Challenge, Asia Washington and Zach Boone headlined the results for UNC Asheville. Sophomore Washington made a jump of 5.38m in the long jump, which stands as the third-longest jump in program history. Boone posted a fast time in the men's 3000m (8:36.83), which made that the fifth-fastest time at UNC Asheville.
UNC Asheville had strong performances in both the men's and women's 400m run. Desire Brown represented the Bulldogs on the women's side, and she finished 45th out of 106 runners. Tyree McFalling placed 35th out of 108 runners following his 49.89 time.
Kelley Coleman rounded out the strong finishes for Asheville on the first day, as the senior finished in the top 10 in the women's 3000m. She clocked a 10:41.24 time.
On the final day of the Carolina Challenge, the Bulldogs' men's and women's distance medley relay teams shined. On the men's side, Graham Parker, McFalling, Sage Turner and Boone combined for a 10:19.06 time en route to a third-place finish. Megan Brewer, Khadeesha Crumbly, Alyx Evans and Coleman ran a 12:53.03. The four Bulldogs finished fifth overall.
Victor Mathuthu rounded out the top-10 finishes for UNC Asheville, as the sophomore placed seventh in the men's triple jump.
