RALEIGH, N.C. Three NC State freshmen will compete in the USA Cross Country Championships this Saturday in San Diego, Calif.
Sponsored by USATF and held at Mission Bay Park, the USA Cross Country Championships begin at 9:45 a.m., Pacific time with the 8k Masters women’s race, and will continue through the mid-afternoon hours. Bobby Moldovan, Greg Dame and Colleen Wetherbee will line up for the junior races. The 6k junior women’s race will begin at 11:45 a.m., followed by the 8k junior men’s race.
Wetherbee, a freshman from West Yarmouth, Mass., is considered one of the runners to watch in the junior women’s race. The Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman of the Year, Wetherbee posted top-20 finishes at both the ACC Championships and the NCAA Southeast Regionals.
Dame, a true freshman from Winston-Salem, N.C., and Moldovan, a true freshman from Fort Wayne, Ind., both redshirted the cross country season in 2007, but both ran unattached in three races. Moldovan began the year with a sixth-place finish at the Raleigh Invitational, took fourth at the Pirate Invitational, and then capped his season by winning the Wolfpack Invitational. Dame ran in the same three races, finishing 18th, 12th and 13th respectively.
