Cordova Paces Millsaps to Eighth Place Finish in 8K

• Official Meet Results

STARKVILLE – Freshman \#Hugo Cordova\# ran Millsaps' first 8K of the season in 29:20.94 at the Mississippi State Invitational and helped pace the Majors to an eighth place overall finish as the only Division III team in the field.

Host Mississippi State, Louisiana Tech and Alabama-Huntsville finished one, two, three.

"Our guys got some good experience," first year head coach Andy Till said. "I felt like we were able to race the people around us. I'm seeing some improvement each week, but we still have a long way to go."

The MSU Invitational was run on a 1,000-meter horse track, going eight laps in the meet.

Cordova's time was the best for any male runner this year, as Millsaps competed in its first 8k of the season. \#Tim Gillis\# and \#Jessie Painter\# finished second and third for the Majors, coming in at times of 31:21.03 and 33:28.71, respectively.

Millsaps will be back in action this weekend, traveling to Memphis, Tenn., for the annual Rhodes College Invitational. The men will go off at 10:10 a.m.
