The Greensboro
College men's and women's cross country teams placed second at the USA
South Championships, held Oct. 30th at Hagan Stone Park in Pleasant Garden.
Both finishes matched
the best showings
in program history.
"Our whole
season is geared toward a strong finish at the conference meet," said Pride
Head Coach Jason Tuggle. "For both of our teams to finish second
is a great benchmark for our student-athletes."
Doug Holbrook
led the way for The Pride in the USAS meet. He finished ninth with a time
of 28:47. Teammate Michael Barnard was 11th with a 30:02 clocking. Other
times were: Brian Holloway, 18, 32:28; Jonathan Southall,
20, 33:28; Ian Prevas, 24, 35:15; Johnnie Williams, 26, 35:52
On the women's
