BLUE
HOSE CROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS FORRESTER & BRADEN
NAMED TO NCAA DIVISION II SOUTHEAST ALL-REGION TEAMS
GREENSBORO,
NC Presbyterian College cross country runners freshman
Tanith
Forrester (Lexington, SC) and senior Zach
Braden (Covington, GA) were named to the NCAA
Division II Southeast All-Region teams announced
over the weekend.
Forrester, a product of
Lexington High School, helped lead the Blue Hose
womens cross country team to a program-record
four meet wins during the regular season. In the
2000 SAC Championships, Forrester won the individual
meet and led the team to a third place finish while
picking up SAC Player and Freshman of the Year
honors. This past weekend, Forrester narrowly missed
a bid to advance to the NCAA Division II National
Tournament as an individual, finishing third but led
the team to a fifth place at the regional. Forrester
won two meets, including the Lenoir-Rhyne
Invitational, during the 2000 season and her worst
finish was a fourth place at the Land of Sky
Invitational.
The mens and womens cross country teams are
under the direction of third-year head coach Leigh Irwin. Irwin and assistant coach Mike Rosolino helped lead the program to its most successful
season ever. The program started five years ago as a
club sport and now has become one of the top up and
coming programs in NCAA Division II.
