Coach, Runnners Enjoy Great Cross Country Weekend

Special congratulations go to Coach J.D. Evilsizer, who has been named Women's Coach of the Year by the Peach Belt Conference.

The CSU cross country teams represented CSU this past weekend with pride and honor. The Cougar men tied for first and lost on the tie-breaker. The men's team had the fastest team average in conference championship history for a CSU team. This was after having to redshirt the No. 2 and No. 3 runners coming into the season. The Lady Cougars finished in the runner-up position. They did this while suffering the loss of their top runner from the previous year due to injury. The women also had the fastest team average in conference championship history.

All the runners had either season best times or personal best times. We had three women make all-conference, and four men earned all-conference honors. Jacob Dirkman earned The Elite 15 Award for highest GPA for a male runner. He has a 4.0 GPA. Nathan Reeves and Moneque English were named to the All-Sportsman Team.
