LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Charleston Southern averaged 35:45.67, Saturday at the NCAA Southeast Regional Cross Country Meet, hosted by the University of Louisville, finishing 33rd as a team, just behind UNC Asheville and Winthrop.

“Overall it was a really good experience for us,” said Head Coach Ryan Thompson. “We ran well and it gave us good closure for the season. We finished right with some of the other Big South schools, which gives our guys confidence as we continue to try to move the program forward.”
