AUBURN, Ala. – The Blue Raider women's and men's track and field teams completed their first day of the War Eagle Invitational on Friday. Day one was short, but saw a few Blue Raiders solidify themselves at the top of Conference USA for marks and times.
The Lone first-place finish on day one was freshman Vincent Yegon with a personal-best time of 14:04.96 in the men's 5000m. Yegon already held the best mark on conference with 14:17.47 before the meet but added a cushion to his lead today. Not far behind was junior Habtamu Geta who finished in fifth place, shaving half a second off of his personal best from the Raleigh Relays.
