COLUMBIA, Mo. – Yazmine Wright won her second individual title of the season Friday at the Gans Creek Invitational, while the Shocker men had a very strong finish in the 8k race, moving up from third to second in the final kilometer.

Wright came out in the first 6k race of the season and ran a personal-best time of 20:53.90 to earn the individual win.
