Baton Rouge, La. – Freshman runner Davis Bove was named to the Men’s Freshman All-SEC team for his performance in the 8k at the SEC Championships this weekend. Bove finished in 23rd place and was the fifth freshman runner to cross the finish line. Being one of the top seven freshman in the race, Bove was able to earn himself a selection on the Men’s SEC All-Freshman team. He became the third male runner in program history to secure a spot on the SEC All-Freshman squad along with Dajour Braxton in 2015 and Eric Coston in 2017.
Bove continues to add onto an impressive resume as he earns another accolade. He made his debut in the LSU Invitational earlier this season where he finished in sixth place in the 5k with a time of 15:15.26. Bove was named the SEC Men’s Freshman Runner of the Week for his debut performance. The Franklin, Tenn., native followed up that performance with another impressive outing a week later in the Joe Piane Invitational. Bove crossed the finish line in 12th place with a time of 24:38.20 in the 5-Mile competition. He was once again named the SEC Men’s Freshman Runner of the Week, becoming the first runner in school history to win the award in consecutive weeks. He finished the regular season in the Arturo Barrios Invitational where he placed 85th overall in the 8k with a time of 25:21.5.
The Tigers will return to action on Friday Nov. 15 at the NCAA South Central Regionals in Fayetteville, Ark.
