CLINTON, Miss. — For the fourth time in as many
cross country meets this season,
Lejaune George and

for Xavier University of Louisiana, this time at the Mississippi College Fall Festival.
George ran 8,000 meters in 28 minutes, 26.43 seconds to finish 18th out of
36 men. Mastin ran 5,000 meters in 20:38.34 to place 14th out of 42 women.
George produced the fastest Gold Rush 8K time
since four runners —
Kwame Jackson (27:15.84), David Holobowicz (27:35.28),
Brent Kitto (27:52.46) and Christopher August (28:08.15) — did it in a 1-2-3-4 finish at the 2013
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championships and at the same venue (Choctaw Trails)
