The Screaming Eagles also got season-bests in the mile from freshman Griffen Wheeler as well as sophomores Eli Mojonnier and Tyler Zimmerman. Wheeler ranks 10th in the OVC in the mile with his time of 4:12.15, while Mojonnier and Zimmerman are 12th and 14th, respectively, with times of 4:13.26 and 4:14.33.
