Running for the first time all season at home, the RedHawks enjoyed the chance to have their friends and fans cheer them on.
"The Miami Invitational is always fun to be in because you are able to run in front of people you know," Flessa said. "You actually have people cheering for you."
While being away constantly takes its toll on the runners, sometimes traveling is a nice escape.
"We would like to have more home meets, but it's nice to go to other campuses," junior Brandon Kistler said. "It's nice to go down south where the weather is nicer where we run better."
This weekend's meet means the season is almost over for the track teams, as each team has a couple more meets before the
season ends.
The women travel to Tennessee next weekend to compete in the Vanderbilt Invitational while the men travel to Cincinnati for the All-Ohio Championship.
"I think we did pretty well (this season), a lot of guys are coming back from injury or are injured," said sophomore Alex Boiwka. "So there's always room for improvement."
Both the men's and women's team will end their seasons with the MAC Championships May 10 to 12, which take place at Miami.
