COLUMBIA, S.C. – Two College of Charleston runners won and one changed the record book in the 3k steeplechase to highlight Charleston on a hot day in Columbia at the USC Open.
Savannah Stoutt finished first in the steeplechase in a time of 11:20.66 entering herself into the top 10 in school history for the event. This is the first time the top marks have been altered since 2018 by Tess Masselink.
In the next event of the day, Rhian Purves led coast-to-coast for the 1500 win (4:32.08). This is Purves's second win of the season in the event.
Andie Harding was fourth going into the bell lap, but battled down the final 50 meters to pull ahead for a gutsy heat win in the 800 for a time of 2:17.15.
The Cougars battled top Division I talent and the weather today. Competing became increasingly difficult as the 90-degree heat persisted, with the occasional cloud far and in-between providing minimal relief.
Charleston will take the next weekend off before traveling to NC A&T for the Aggie Invitational for the last meet of the regular season before CAA Championships.
