Southeastern Runner Enjoys Season Best

Former Mansfield runner Megan Rose had another fine outing this past weekend. The Southeastern Oklahoma State sophomore ran her second fastest time of her young college career to help the team produce positive results.

Rose ran the 5K distance in 19:56. That time was her season best, her second fastest career mark, and the third fastest among her Savage Storm teammates at the University of Texas Arlington hosted event.

“It was at 7:30 AM on Saturday morning,” texted Rose to her old high school coach. “The weather was great. I was third on my team and we got fifth in the meet.”

Rose went on to explain her team also beat the University of Louisiana Lafayette which is a D1 school. Understandably, the highly decorated former Mansfield runner was pretty happy with the outcome.

“I enjoy keeping up with our former players,” said John Mackey, Rose’s high school coach. “Our kids running now look up to these former athletes. It’s good to show them what hard work and effort can do. Megan is an inspiration, a real success story for us to pattern.”
