This is the best finish in an 8K event by a Blazer since 2012 where Hood\u2019s Brett Shelley placed 110. This is also the seventh fastest time overall in Hood history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the MAC Conference Championships Sappe ran a time of 26:25.6 which was just three seconds slower than the Hood record, which was set in 2010 by Dan Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was annoying, because I was right there but I am definitely looking for the overall record next year,\u201d Sappe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hernandez set several fastest time records over the course of this season, but in her final race of the year she also set the record for best finish by a Blazer in a regional event. Hernandez placed 59th in the 5-kilometer event with a time of 23:51.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The previous best finish by a first-year was set in 2015 by Jayla Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGoing forward, obviously we learned a lot this season I think applying this to next season will hopefully help us break more records,\u201d Hernandez said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Two members of the Hood cross country teams set records in their last event of the season at the&nbsp;NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship&nbsp;on Nov. 12.
