Twenty universities will be represented at the event, including seven Division I schools joining APSU – Chattanooga, Georgia Southern (women only), Georgia Tech, Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Mercer and Troy.
The run also featured the season debut for senior Martin Rejman, who continues to recover following an injury.
The Governors won the JSU Invitational in 2014, with Hamm claiming the individual title.
