Another AAC Campionship tournament is in the books for the Mustangs and this time its a third place finish.

On Saturday at the New Balance Track & Field Center, the Mustangs finished with 83 points, only 3.5 points behind second-place UCF (86.5) and 25 points behind champion Connecticut (108).

“The effort at a championship meet is what matters and we had a championship effort. Unfortunately, we came up a little short,” said head coach Dave Wollman. “The first step to success is the failure you just experienced, so we will use this to motivate ourselves for the outdoor.”

The story of the weekend was the individual performance of Holly Archer.

“The effort by [Archer] was above and beyond,” said Wollman. “What Holly did, running the 3k and then running a personal best in the 4×400, is exactly what we talk about when we talk about sacrificing for your team.”

Archer won bronze in the mile with a time of 4:51.92 and then set a new personal record in the 4×400 as the anchor for a team that finished seventh.

The NCAA Indoor Championship will take place on March 13-14 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The outdoor track season then begins on March 20 with the TCU Invitational.
