Men's Cross Country Finishes Third at South Atlantic Conference Championships
Oct. 26, 2013
BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C. - Led by senior Parks Edwards' season-best time, the Anderson men's cross country team placed third at the 2013 Food Lion SAC Cross Country Championships, hosted by Mars Hill University at the Montreat College course in Black Mountain, N.C.
With temperatures in the upper-20s for the 8K race, Mars Hill continued its dominance of SAC cross country, as the Lions won their conference record 17th-straight conference title. MHU entered the championship ranked No. 5 in the Southeast Region by the USTFCCCA.
Queens' Felix Duchampt claimed the individual title with a time
of 25:18.0, which was more than 27 seconds faster than runner-up
Alex Griggs of Mars Hill.
After finishing sixth at the championships a year ago, the Trojans
moved up three spots, as Edwards' season-best time of 26:44 bested
his previous time by more than 15 seconds. The Greenville, S.C.,
native earned Second-Team All-Conference honors for the second
consecutive year with his 12th-place finish.
AU freshman Ben Boerma (27:24.3) was seven seconds off his
season-best, but was just less than three seconds from earning the
fifth and final spot for all-freshman accolades, as he finished
20th overall. Another newcomer last season, freshman Thomas
Garrigan earned the 22nd spot with a time of 27:34.3 and freshman
Ned Kennedy crossed the line in 28th in a time of 27:52.8. Senior
Westley Wilson (27:59.6) captured 31st, with junior Joshua
Visi-Clark finishing 41st in a time of 28:35.9.
A pair of freshman, Jesse Patrick (28:46.1) and Michael Burch
(29:31.1) rounded out the Trojan contingent in 48th and 64th,
respectively. Burch slashed nearly 19 seconds from his
personal-best time of the season.
"We ran an excellent race," said Anderson head coach Randy Greer.
"I am very pleased. It was a really good race for the men."
