October 15 – Cross Country at Royals Cross Country Challenge – M, 22nd, W, 16th
The cross country programs went to the Royals Cross Country Challenge, which proved to be a tough challenge as they ran against the likes of Georgia Tech and Florida State. It served its purpose, though, as five of the six runners on the men’s side ran season-best times on the Charlotte course, the last tune up before the Big South Championship on October 30. The women’s team had three runners post season-bests at the same meet, and everyone proved they had more to give, coming through the two-mile mark well ahead of their record pace.
