THE LAKER LINEUP  
IMPACTFUL RUNNERS
Clayton State is ready to embark on their first 10K race of the season.  The Lakers last raced in a 10K in last season's NCAA DII SE Regional where five of the seven runners raced in.  The Lakers are led by their senior Camron Gaddis.  Gaddis led the Lakers in all four races ran this season and was one of five runners in last season's regional finishing with a time of 33:17.5, finishing 66th place.  Camron looks to duplicate and improve upon that time. 
 
Following Gaddis is James Morrow, Emanuel Dixon, and Dion Dial.  These three Lakers have really improved throughout the season and have turned in some nice results.  Morrow is the lone Laker to have run a 10K in a Laker uniform as he finished in 35:39.7 in last year's regional.  Dixon and Dial have had solid seasons for the Lakers. Dixon has finished in the top three on the team in each of the five races this season while Dial has finished in the top five three of four races. 
 
Also racing for the Lakers is Mykell Strickland, Nehemiah Horton, and Rakiem Barnes.  Strickland was the lone Laker in this group who competed in this race last season as he clocked a time of 35:07.8.  Strickland has finished in the top five on the team in four of five races this season.  This is Horton's first 10K race while Barnes returns to his third Regional Meet. Rakiem ran his best time at the 2023 Regional with a time of 33:07.8.
