NASHVILE, Tenn. – Sydney Freeman earned her first-career victory at Trevecca's Michael Pretorius Invitational, as Austin Peay State University's men's and women's cross country teams both earned third-place finishes, Saturday, at Percy Warner Park.

For the second-straight season, the women's cross country team had an individual win the Michael Pretorious Invitational, as Freeman beat Lipscomb's top finished by 2.5 seconds in the 5K race and set a personal best with an 18:31.2 time. The next Gov to cross the finish line was Shaye Foster – last season's event winner – who placed seventh overall. Laure Marie Kidukula, Taylah Upshaw, and Jaedyn Stalnecker wrapped up APSU's counting scores.

The men's team earned their third-straight third-place finish at Trevecca's event. Tahmar Upshaw was the first Gov to cross the finish line with an 20th-place finish in the event, while Will Keefer, Zeniel Lizardo, and Jacob Schweigardt placed 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, respectively.
