Sophomore Nakacee McNab won the first collegiate cross country meet of her career as the Lincoln University women’s cross country team claimed the 15th Bowie State Cross Country Classic.

“It was a good ending to our regular season meets,” said Lincoln coach Roland Whiting. “It gives us good momentum heading into the CIAA championships.”

On the men’s side, freshman Clayton McLaren continues to pace the Lions across the tape. He finished sixth overall in the time of 17:49.30.

Freshman Jeremy Gyan, freshman Lamar Clanton and junior Corey Muzon placed 11th, 12th, and 13th, respectively. Gyan paced the trio in 18:47.8, followed by Clanton (18:54.6) and Muzon (19:02.5).
