Yetis Named All Region
The Cleveland Community College Cross Country team competed at the Region 10 Championships on October 30 in Axton, VA.
The meet was hosted by Patrick & Henry Community College at the Smith River Sports Complex. Lily Clark (North Gaston '21) and Anastazia Rodriguez (North Gaston '21) were named All Region 10. As the top finisher among DII runners, Clark was also named Region 10 Division II Runner of the Year. For the second meet in a row, Clark lowered her personal best, finishing the 5K course in 25:28.
Last year, the CCC men's team were the D2 Champions at the regional meet. This year, the women's team were the Regional Champions. In addition to Clark and Rodriguez, the team includes Lindy Jenkins (Pinnacle '20), Eliana Philbeck (North Gaston '21) and Rylie Carroll (Kings Mountain '21). "This is how we want to build our season," said Coach Steve McCachren. "Our training and race schedule puts us on pace to peak as we head to our last race of the season."
The women's team will compete next at the NJCAA Division II National Championships November 13 in Richmond, Virginia. The meet will be hosted by Pole Green Park and the women's race begins at 12:30 pm.
