DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Palm Beach Atlantic finishes 10th of 13 at the Embry-Riddle Invitational. The 5k course at Embry-Riddle was one of the more challenging courses the Sailfish have seen this year due to its numerous surface types and slopes. Palm Beach Atlantic runners were not hesitant to battle the course's hardships really pushed themselves in the absences of their top runner. The Sailfish runners will gain a lot from running this course as it is the location for the SSC Championships in November.
