BATON ROUGE, La. – Trevor Foley and Vasileia Spyrou led the way for Florida at the 2020 Southeastern Conference Cross Country Championships at the University Club of Baton Rouge on Friday.

Foley continued his strong season with the Gators to the tune of a 13th-place finish in 24:19.2 in the men's 8,000-meter (8k) race while Spyrou kept her impressive freshman season going with a 17th-place finish in 20:42.3 in the women's 6k race.

With those efforts, Foley was named to the Men's Second Team All-SEC and Spyrou earned a spot on the Women's Freshman All-SEC Team.

The men's team finished seventh on 200 points with Angel Vicioso (31st, 24:56.2), Ethan Geiger (47th, 25:12.1), Blake Lowery (51st, 25:17.2) and Reed Legg (69th, 25:41.4) following behind Foley to complete the top five.

The women's team finished ninth on 257 points with Emily Culley (59th, 21:42.3), Emily Jones (73rd, 21:59.6), Chloe Hyde (74th, 22:00.0) and Rylee Pustilnik (75th, 22:00.8) falling in after Spyrou to round out the top five.

This was the final race for the cross country team this fall with the ability to return to competition in the spring. Earlier this fall, the NCAA Cross Country Championships were moved to March 15 due to COVID-19.
