RALEIGH, N.C. — Three current NC State cross country runners and one former Wolfpack student-athlete will compete Saturday in the 2011 USA Cross Country Championships in San Diego, Calif.
Wolfpack freshmen Michael Mansy, Andrew McCullen and Bryan Spreitzer, and 2004 All-American Bobby Mack will compete in the event, which also serves as the trials race to select the Team USA squad that will compete at the 2011 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, to be held in Punta Umbria, Spain on March 20, 2011, and the North America, Central American, & Caribbean (NACAC) Cross Country Championships, which will be conducted in Tobago on February 19, 2011.
Mansy, McCullen and Spreitzer will compete in the junior race. Mack will run in the open men’s race.
NC State has had 11 cross country runners earn spots on USA National and USA Junior National teams, the most recent being Andrew Colley in 2010, and Ryan Hill and Emily Pritt in 2009. Mack also ran for Team USA in 2010.
