Running
• Lee University cross country runner Harold Smith from Bradley Central High School was the National Christian College Athletic Association student-athlete of the week after placing eighth in the Blue race of the Greater Louisville Classic last Saturday. He broke Johnny Clemmons’ school record for 8 kilometers with a 25:00.95 finish. “Harold’s performance was unbelievable,” Lee coach Caleb Morgan said. “He ran better than a lot of D-I teams’ top man, and he ran the same time as UT’s No. 1 did in the gold race.” The Flames were 10th as a team.
