Sam Chelanga was victorious at Pre-Nationals for the second time in the last three years.
Sam Chelanga enjoyed a comfortable victory in the men's 8K white race, highlighting Liberty's showing at Saturday's Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind. Meanwhile, Jennifer Klugh's 36th-place effort highlighted the Lady Flames' performance in the women's 6K blue race.
Chelanga's second career Pre-Nationals victory led the Liberty men's squad to its best finish ever at this meet, 10th place out of 36 entrants. The Flames' score of 378, also aided by Evans Kigen's 20th-place finish, put them ahead of two nationally-ranked teams. Liberty defeated No. 21 Tulsa and No. 25 Minnesota in the final standings. Two other nationally-ranked squads topped the men's white race standings, as No. 16 Oklahoma defeated No. 19 BYU by a 106-138 margin.
My favorite part is about 1:00 in when the girl asks him where his conference meet is being held. He responds with, "It's in Virginia, at a school called Radford."
