NEW ORLEANS, La. -- The NC State women's cross country program has been selected to repeat as NCAA Southeast Regional Champions in 2017, as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Preseason Regional Rankings were released Monday afternoon. The Pack men were chosen fourth in the region.
The USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning teams' strength with current season results (if applicable) in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships. This year, the Wolfpack will travel to Charlottesville, Va. for the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships on Friday, Nov. 10.
The Pack women are coming off one of their most successful campaigns as they captured ACC and Southeast Region titles in 2016. NC State returns five All-ACC performers in Rachel Koon, Wesley Frazier, Alyssa Rudawsky, Elly Henes and Ryen Frazier. Koon garnered All-America honors at the national meet, where NC State placed fourth overall for its highest national finish since 2001.
On the men's side, All-Region returners Patrick Sheehan and Aubrey Myjer look to lead this year's Wolfpack squad. Redshirt-sophomore Ben Barrett (2016 All-ACC Performer) and junior Elijah Moskowitz (30th place at 2016 NCAA Southeast Regionals) will also play a vital role for NC State in 2017.
The Wolfpack opens the 2017 campaign at home as NC State hosts the adidas XC Challenge. The meet will take place on Friday, Sept. 15 at the WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. For the most up-to-date information on NC State cross country, follow @PackXC on Twitter.
