CLEVELAND, Tenn. – The Florida Southern College men's track team sent six Moccasins to compete in Cleveland, Tenn. at the Lee University – Fast Break Athletics Invitational. FSC competed in two events Friday as senior Aiden Redmond competed in the 1,500m while the rest of the Mocs saw action in the 5,000m. Junior Christian Giller turned in the third-fastest 5,000m time in program history.
 
Redmond was the first Moc on the track as he took 16th in the 1,500m while posting the fifth-fastest time this season for FSC at 3:53.60.
 
The 5K group was up next with Giller leading the way in 11th overall with a career-best mark of 14:26.18. Classmate Chris Colavita was next to finish as he placed 21st with the fifth-best time this season at 14:43.05. Just nine spots back was freshman Eli Zuppa who crossed the line in 14:52.82 to take 30th. His time was the eighth-best this season for FSC.
 
The final two Moccasins on the track were graduate student Elijah De La Cerda and freshman Andrew Nyland. De La Cerda finished inside the top-50 in 43rd while clocking in at 15:13.41 while Nyland took 60th at 15:32.33.
