MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Argos came to compete at the Gulf South Conference Championships, setting four school records and placing three runners on the GSC All-Conference teams. 
 
All ten runners on the women's cross country team set either a personal record or season best in the effort, coming in fourth overall as a team at Shelby Farms Park
 
Elyse Carmichael set a new school record as her stellar freshman season continues, running a 21:35.1 in the 6K to place 10^th out of 99 runners and become the first Argo to earn first team All-GSC since Kelley Bahn in 2014. 
 
Jessica Chappell and Sydney Orth made Second Team All-GSC with their top-10 school record times. Chappell ran a personal best with the second fastest time in Argo history at 21:38.5 to place 11^th. Orth ran a personal best and became the third runner in UWF history to run a sub 22-minute 6K at 21:56.7, placing 19^th.
 
"We ran our best race of the season so far," head coach Caleb Carmichael said. " It wasn't enough to get us to our goal of top 2 but that's just a credit to how good are conference has become. We can take away a lot of confidence from this one and hopefully run just as well at regionals in 2 weeks."
