LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The NC State cross country programs continued postseason action on Friday, competing at the NCAA Southeast Regional. The NC State women took home the regional championship (34 points) for the fifth-straight season while the Pack men placed fourth (138 points).
The women's score of 34 points marks the fewest points at a Southeast Regional meet by the Pack women since at least 2000.
WOMEN'S 6K RECAP
ACC Champion Kelsey Chmiel added another champion title at the meet, taking home the individual title. The junior completed the 6K course in 19:58.4, almost eight seconds ahead of the second-place finisher.
Katelyn Tuohy was that second-place finisher, running a 20:06.2 that garnered the sophomore her second-straight runner-up placement.
In sixth place was Allie Hays, who ran the race in 20:14.2. Sam Bush was close behind Hays, placing eighth with a time of 20:19.4.
Heather Holt was the final scorer for the Pack, posting a 17th-place finish with a 20:42.1 mark. Savannah Shaw crossed the line in 25th place (20:53.7), and Sarah LaTour rounded out the Wolfpack competitors with a 43rd-place finish and a time of 21:24.2.
Six Wolfpack women garnered All-Region accolades with top-25 finishes: Chmiel, Tuohy, Hays, Bush, Holt and Shaw.
MEN'S 8K RECAP
JP Flavin led the way for the Wolfpack men, placing sixth overall with a 29:24.7 10K time. As one of the top four individuals not on an automatically qualifying team, Flavin is guaranteed an individual spot at the NCAA Championships if the Wolfpack men's team does not receive an at-large selection.
Nate Kawalec was second across the line for NC State, finishing 19th with a time of 29:52.3.
Robinson Snider recorded a 24th-place finish, completing the race in 29:59.0. Close to him in the placements was Gavin Gaynor, who placed 27th (30:02.1).
Rounding out the NC State scorers was Zach Hughes, who crossed the line in 67th with a time of 31:03.0. The final NC State competitor was Ian Harrison, who tabbed a 116th-place finish with his time of 32:01.0.
A trio of NC State men, Flavin, Kawalec and Snider, received All-Region accolades with their top-25 finishes
