MACON, Ga. -- UNF's Sarah Coghlan earns her second Atlantic Sun Runner of the Week award this season while setting a new personal best. Coghlan led the Lady Ospreys to an eighth place finish and shaved nearly 40 seconds from her previous personal best set last week.

The senior finished the 5K at the Auburn Invitational in a time of 17:14.52, a minute behind the first place finisher. Coghlan placed eighth out of 194 runners. She continues to hold the best time in the A-Sun. Coghlan is a native of Christchurch, New Zealand and is majoring in Graphic Design.

The Ospreys will be back in action Oct. 7 when they compete in the FSU Invitational.
