HU represented at Music City Track Carnival

Three Foresters extended their track season into the summer by competing in the 19th annual Music City Track Carnival hosted by the Nashville Track Club over the weekend. The meet featured over a dozen Olympians from Rio and a host of Olympic hopefuls.

Sophomore Emma Wilson competed in the 5000 meters where she finished fifth out of 13 runners by clocking in at 16:25.01.

Senior Adrien Gentie and Elijah Chesterman toed the line of the men’s open mile. Gentie ran a PR to finish second out of 22 runners. His time of 4:13.50 proved a new school record. Chesterman crossed the line next in 4:16.00, just off his personal best.

HU finished the year as one of the nation’s best. The Huntington women were deemed the 2021 NAIA National Program of the Year based on their combined finish in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. Based on the same criteria, the Forester men finished fifth nationally.
