ROCK HILL, S.C. - Paced by the individual winner and seven of the top-nine performers, Charleston Southern men's cross country dominated the 2021 Hercules Tires Big South Cross Country Championships Friday afternoon for their second title in program history.
Trevor Dominy led the field with a time of 23:54.6 as he was joined among the top nine by a slew of Buccaneers including Jaden Kingsley (3rd - 24:16.9), Gavin Kuhlenbeck (4th - 24:22.7), Alan Deogracias (6th - 24:26.7) and Micah Gilpatric (7th - 24:31.8). Jaymee Domoney (8th - 24:37.0) and Jacob Jones (9th - 24:39.6) also finished among the field's top-nine as the Bucs finished with seven All-Conference runners and 21 points total - the lowest team total for a Big South Champion since the 1999 season.
Dominey becomes the third Buccaneer to win the individual championship in program history joining Al Dunn and Stewart Uldrick. He headlined all seven Bucs who set new PR's in the 8K meet shaving :48 seconds off his previous mark in the CSU Invitational to open the spring.
Charleston Southern was one of just two teams - High Point - with multiple All-Conference runners as they beat the Panthers by 30 points for their second Big South title.
All seven Bucs also sat among the field's top-14 throughout the meet as Dominey paced the squad at the 3K and 6K marks.
Trevor Dominy's individual title made him the Runer of the Year while freshman Gavin Kuhlenbeck was the first rookie to cross the finish line earning Freshman of the Year and head coach Jim Stintzi took home Coach fo the Year honors.
Joshua Martin also earned All-Conference honors as the Bucs' All-Academic representative.
