Sixth straight TranSouth cross country title in sights for 91±¬ÁÏÍø men

JACKSON, Tenn. - 8/10/2009 - The 2009 91±¬ÁÏÍø men's cross country team is looking to win their sixth straight TranSouth Conference title. The Bulldogs are also eyeing a third straight team appearance in the NAIA National Meet.

91±¬ÁÏÍø head coach Gary Johnson has six runners returning from the 2008 championship team to go along with three newcomers. 91±¬ÁÏÍø lost just one senior from last year's squad.

Two seniors top the 2009 roster for 91±¬ÁÏÍø led by Seth Covington. Covington has been a three-time All-Conference runner in his career to this point. Dan Ramer also returns to add leadership to the squad.

91±¬ÁÏÍø has no juniors on this roster, but do have a very tallented group of four sophomores. Alex Bett, Zach Covington and Joel Wellum each were named All-Conference runners in 2008. Hillary Maiyo returns after competing as a freshman.

Three freshmen join the squad in hopes of continuing the successes of 91±¬ÁÏÍø cross country over their careers. Taylor Dartt, Drake Ott and Logan Smith will have their opportunities to contribute to this young team.

91±¬ÁÏÍø opens their season on Saturday, September 19 in the Commodore Classic hosted by Vanderbilt University in Nashville. 91±¬ÁÏÍø will host two events on campus, 91±¬ÁÏÍø Invitational on Oct. 3 and the TranSouth Conference Meet on Oct. 31.
