MAGNOLIA, Ark. – Mother Nature tried her best, but her best wasn't near as good as Southern Arkansas junior runner Logan Warren's best. In fact, no one's best on Friday evening in Magnolia was as good as the Katy, Texas native's as she ran to the individual title at the 13^th running of the Lois Davis Invitational to help the Mulerider Women to a second-place team finish.
 
With the starting gun originally set to fire at 6 p.m. for the women's two mile, both the men (5k) and the women left the starting line at 6:50 due to lightning and rain in the area.

Warren (12:40.7) paced out front of the other 53 female runners and finished eight seconds faster than the second-place finisher, but Ouachita edged SAU 29-30 as 14 of the top 15 female competitors were either Muleriders or Tigers, including Warren's teammates Rachel Solano (3rd; 12:59.6), Alyzah McGlasson (5th; 13:13.4), Cantley Gosdin (8th; 13:42.8) and Angel Redmond (15th; 14:13.4). J'aime Brown (17:35.5) rounded out SAU's representation in the home event.

Warren becomes the first Mulerider to win the individual LDI title since 2016 when Claudine Blancaflor claimed the top spot. Warren is the third different Mulerider to win the title and it's the fourth time overall that an SAU female has crossed the tape first.

Southern Arkansas returns to action at the end of the month for the Chili Pepper Festival hosted by the University of Arkansas on Friday, September 29 in Fayetteville. Live result links will be made available at www.MuleriderAthletics.com.
