BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --- Gracie Morse posted a personal best on the final day of the Southern Conference Championships and the Mocs scored in each race Sunday at the Cameron Bean Track in Birmingham, Ala.
 
Morse advanced to the final of the 400 meter hurdles and finished fifth in the race with a PR time of 1:06.01. She was also named to the All-Freshman Team, her second of the weekend.
 
"Gracie ran an impressive 400 hurdles," Chattanooga head coach Andy Meyer said. "She made a strong move with a little over 150 meters left going from eighth to fifth."
 
Lesley Green took eighth in the 5000 meter run on a hot, muggy late afternoon. She finished with a time of 18:07.96 and Justine Glass placed 10^th overall with a time of 18:34.08. Ashtyn Hagood (19:29.85) crossed the line 16^th while Allie Potter was 22^nd with a time of 20:35.88.
 
"Lesley continued her strong weekend performance, scoring again in the 5K," Meyer said. "She ran an even split race, going out conservative in the heat and moving from 15^th to eighth in the last 2K.
 
"Justine ran strong finishing well in her last collegiate race."
 
Chattanooga's first race of the day was the 4x100 meter relay. Imani Bryant was a late scratch after suffering an injury on Day One. Carley Burt filled in in the second leg behind Kimbra Dunning lead off sprint. Sage Davis grabbed the baton for the third leg while McKenzie Williamson, in her final outdoor race, anchored the relay to finish seventh.
 
"Just like yesterday, our first event of the day went well," Meyer said of the short relay. "Kim got off to a great start and the transition to Carley was very smooth. Sage, in her last race as a Moc, made up ground and McKenzie ran a fast final leg securing our placing."
 
The final race of the day was the 4x400 meter relay. Morse toed the line for the Mocs in the first leg followed by Faith Brown, Burt and Emmy Davis in the final lap.
 
"They all ran consistently at 65 to score in the 4x4," Meyer said.
 
Chattanooga placed eighth overall with 21 points ahead of VMI and UNC Greensboro. Samford was the women's overall winner with 224 points and the Bulldog men claimed the title.
 
"We had some injuries hamper us a little bit but we had several great performances this weekend," Meyer stated. "All our scorers are coming back so we are very excited for the future."
