Lee University captured its fifth straight Gulf South Conference men’s cross-country title, placing nine runners in the top 14 and scoring 16 points. The Flames took five of the top six spots, led by freshman Kylian Boulanger, who edged teammate Pierre Chauveau by 0.04 seconds to win the individual championship.

By the Numbers
  • Lee: 16 points; Mississippi Christian: 71; third-place AUM: 82.
  • Boulanger finished in 23:30.11, just 0.04 seconds ahead of Chauveau.
  • Nine Lee runners placed in the top 14; seven earned First Team All-GSC honors.
Yes, But

Lee’s team dominance came alongside a razor-thin individual finish: Boulanger needed a last-second sprint to beat Chauveau. The freshman’s victory was also a milestone, making him the first freshman to win the conference individual title since 2015.

What's Next

Lee returns to competition Nov. 21 at the NCAA Division II South Regional, a 10K race at John Hunt Cross Country Park in Huntsville, Alabama.

Bottom Line

Lee’s championship streak is built on depth as much as front-running talent: nine Flames finished among the top 14, giving the team a commanding conference win and momentum heading into regional competition.
