BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell University's cross country teams will compete for league honors on Saturday at the Atlantic Sun Championships in Atlanta, Ga.
"All the kids have been training hard and we're really excited about this meet," said head coach Ken Frenette. "This is the meet we've been pointing toward all year."
On the men's side, senior Ryan Richmond from Morrisville, N.Y., heads the charge. A two-time all-conference performer, who placed third in last year's league meet, Richmond has three top-10 showings this fall.
He was runner-up at the Gamecock Invitational on Sept. 8 and placed third at the North Carolina Championships on Oct. 13 where he earned all-state honors for the second-straight year.
Freshman Michael Earle from Scarborough, Ontario also earned all-state recognition with a seventh-place showing at the N.C. Collegiates on Oct. 13. His 25:45 clocking was a season-best for an 8,000-meter event.
Freshmen Clarence Williams from Hampton, Va., and Kyle Ridington from Malvern, Pa., are also coming off season-best times in the N.C. Collegiates event.
