RALEIGH, N.C. - Coach Rollie Geiger and the NC State cross country program have released their schedule for the 2004 season. The eight meet itinerary includes two matches in which the Wolfpack will play host at the nearby SAS Complex in Cary, N.C.
"Once again we find ourselves with a very competitive schedule," said Coach Geiger. "We look forward to competing hard and getting some action out of our new runners which we having coming in next season. Our goals are always to win the ACC Championship, qualify for nationals and to finish in the national top-10. Just like every year, we are going to go after these goals and try and continue our reputation as a top program on the national level."
Coming off of their third consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) title, the men's program will return ACC Champion Andy Smith and former all conference honoree Ricky Brookshire. The men closed out last season with a 10th-place finish at the NCAA Championships.
The women's program earned a second-place finish last season at the conference championships and closed the season out in strong fashion, earning sixth-place at the NCAA Championships with three team members placing in the top 16. The women will return the services of 2003 All-ACC honoree Julia Lucas who finished fourth last season at the conference championships. In addition to Lucas, former all-conference team members Josianne Lauber and Kristina Roth will return to the fold.
Wolfpack cross country will return to action in September. Be sure to keep up with both men and women's programs here at GoPack.com
