GREENSBORO, N.C. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's indoor track and field team placed six runners in the Top 10 at the UNCG Dual Meet Madness Sunday in Winston-Salem, N.C.

"We had several improved performances," Chattanooga head coach Andy Meyer said.

Senior Anna Kate Chance (Columbia, Tenn.) and freshman Kennedy Thomson (Catharine's, Ontario) each placed fourth in their races.

Chance covered the 3000 meter run in a time of 10:42.56 with freshman Hannah Caldwell (Brentwood, Tenn.) placing ninth with a time of 10:41.19 and freshman Rebekah Wich (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) right behind in 10^th at 10:52.09.

Thomson placed fourth in the women's mIle with a time of 5:12.74. "Kennedy's time wasn't up to her usual standards, but it was a decent enough time."

Freshman Abby Bateman (Jefferson City, Tenn.) placed ninth in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:21.75. Sophomore Nicole Buehrle (Sugarloaf, Pa.) finished the middle distance race in a time of 2:22.16 in 10^th place.

The pair finished second-third in their heat while sophomore Haley Morris (Lenoir City, Tenn.) was third in hers and improved from last week's season-opener.

"Abby ran an outstanding 800 meter," Meyer said. "Julia Henderson (Brentwood, Tenn.) and Hannah [Caldwell] had solid races. Everyone is gaining fitness and experience and looking towards continued improvement."

Several members of the men's cross country team will compete next weekend at the MTSU Invitational while the women will take the weekend off in preparation for the Samford Invitational on February 10 at the Birmingham CrossPlex.
