Marshall Skinner of Marion, Ark., overtook Eric Riggins Jr. of Charlotte, N.C., and won the United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour race Friday night at Boyd's Speedway. It was Skinner's second tour win this year - and second in a row - and put him at 27 in all-time USCS victories. He started fifth in Friday's 30-lap race and worked his way to the front, passing Riggins for the lead on lap 14. Riggins, who leads the USCS Southern Tour in points, said lapped traffic helped keep him from getting away from Skinner to start with, and then from catching him. Bartlett, Tenn., residents Anthony Nicholson and Terry Gray finished third and fourth, and Danny Martin Jr. of Sarasota, Fla., was fifth with Outlaw Tour points leader Morgan Turpen of Cordova, Tenn., sixth. Aubrey Black of Lookout Mountain, Ga., was 11th out of the 16 finishers.

* The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's program earned the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's All-Academic team honor for the 2015 season, and five UTC players were ITA Scholar Athletes with grade point averages of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale: 2015 seniors Kaylene Chadwell and Claire Mulyadi and juniors Alison Storie, Katie Polk and Kayla Jones. They were the most Scholar Athletes from the Mocs since 2011. UTC had a 3.30 team GPA (with a 3.2 required) for 2014-15 in earning the ITA academic honor for the fifth consecutive year and ninth overall. The Mocs also went 18-4 and were second in the Southern Conference at 7-1. "Our student-athletes set high goals for themselves, and they expect excellence," coach Jeff Clark said in a UTC release. "This year's group set the bar very high in terms of academic achievement, and I appreciate their efforts. It is also a credit to the outstanding academic support staff we have at UTC who help guide our players."
