Childress finished in 9:44 and Wallace finished the race with a time of 10:54 respectively.
Coach Brandon Kilburn commented, "I am extremely proud of the effort that was shown today. Coming off Christmas break is always tough for athletes and today was a great opportunity to get back into the swing of things. We had many great performances and even had a few qualify in their event for the indoor conference championships. Many are already ahead of last year's personal best performances. Our indoor conference meet is around the corner and today's meet helped take us one step closer to where we want to be."
The Cats will be back in action February 11th at the Samford Invitational in Birmingham.
