COLLEGE MEN’S & WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS HOLD
ANNUAL BANQUET CLINTON,
SC — The
Presbyterian College men’s and women’s cross country teams
held their annual awards banquet last night. It was a
grand occasion celebrating the 2001 Season.
Both teams had good seasons. The women’s team
finished runner-up in three meets and were ranked in the top
10 for the region in 5 out of 8 polls.
The men finished as runner-ups in two meets and ended
the season as the number 10 in the region. Several
individuals were recognized at the banquet including: Thomas
German —
Co-Team Captain German,
a senior from Concord, NC, always stood behind his teammates
and pushed them to be the best they could be. This is best
demonstrated by his efforts at practice.
On more than one occasion, Thomas volunteered to run
extra repeats to help a teammate push the repeat that he
missed earlier in practice.
This exemplifies his personality and leadership. Jack
Carmody —
Men’s Team MVP and Co-Team Captain Carmody,
a junior from Atlanta, GA, led the team all year long
finishing as the top runner in all but one meet. He also led
the team every day in practice.
He had an outstanding campaign especially considering
that he had a stress fracture in his leg that prevented him
from training all summer. Drew
Brannon —
Men’s Newcomer of the Year Brannon,
a junior from Knoxville, TN, was a vital member of the team
this year. In this his first year running cross country, he
finished in the top three on the team in every meet and was
second on the team in both the conference and regional meets.
Drew pushed his teammates both by his actions and words all
year long to be the best that they could be. Ryan
Nobles —
Men’s Scotsman Achievement Award Nobles,
a sophomore from Laurens, SC, was a crucial member of the team
all year long. He finished in the top 5 in most meets and
always in the top 7. Additionally,
