All scorers return from the 2017 championship team including sprinters Sean Caveney, Miles Hollimon and Nick Peeples. James Davis (pole vault) and Daniel Alvarez (1k) also scored points for Davidson over the weekend.

ROOKIE'S RUNNING WILD
Since the start of cross country last fall, three Wildcats have been named Rookie of the Week by the Atlantic 10 Conference. Freshmen Coleman Mitchell and Trent Turbyfill earned the recognition during the XC season, while middle distance runner Bryce Kalsu earned the honor after the first indoor meet of the season in December.
COACHES COMMENTS - RENNY WALDRON
"We are headed into this meet feeling good about about our performances in the regular season. Most of our guys have achieved personal best marks in the past couple of meets, so we know we are in shape and ready to go. It will be a valuable experience for our young team - 17 of the 22 competitors are freshman or sophomores. We are looking forward to rising to the occasion and competing to the best of our ability and leaving it all out there."
