CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Junior Parks Edwards paced the Anderson men's cross country team to a 15th-place finish at the NCAA Division II Southeast Region Championships, hosted by Queens University Saturday morning at McAlpine Creek Park.

The Trojans were in familiar territory for the 10K event, as AU competed at the same park for both the UNC Charlotte Invitational in late September and at the Royal Challenge in mid-October.

Edwards crossed the line in 47th in a time of 33:40.6, while senior Alex Pena (17:20.7) notched 84th and sophomore Joshua Visi-Clark earned 95th with a time of 35:18.7.
Junior Drew Mahaffey (35:45.0) and freshman Tucker Huellmantel (35:47.1) finished 106th and 107th, respectively.

Senior Ryne Welch garnered 119th in a time of 36:15.5, while senior Matt Imes (40:09.6) crossed the line in 158th.

Columbus State, Mount Olive and King received automatic-qualifying bids to the NCAA Cross Country Championships, which will be held Nov. 17 in Joplin, Mo.
