(September 19, 2025) Magnolia, Arkansas - After a solid finish last week in Searcy, the Bucks headed south this time around to Southern Arkansas University for the Lois Davis Invtiational. The men competed against five other colleges/universities with 57 total finishers.

University of Louisiana Monroe led the way in the race. The Bucks finished in the middle of three Great American Conference universities: SAU (2nd), OBU (3rd), UARM (4th), and UAM (5th).

Leading the way again for UARM was Eytan Mirie (Langston, Ontario). He finished 13th overall with 27:15.67, which is a season best for Mirie in an 8K. 

After a tough weekend at Harding, Aiden Kimp (Mena, AR) rebounded with a solid race under 30 minutes. His time of 29:52.98 was good enough for 40th overall.

UARM then had a herd of Bucks finish together. Julio Alfonso Grano (Waldron, AR), Alfred Rodriguez (Dalhart, TX), Camren Lynn-Edward Smith (Bella Vista, AR), Ethan Mazzola (Benton, AR), & Landon Defoor (Waldron, AR) all finished from 43rd to 48th, respectively.
