CHARLESTON – Charleston Southern will be seeking their first-ever Women's Cross Country Conference Championships on Friday morning at the Big South Championships. The women's 5K race is scheduled for 9 a.m. start with the race to be hosted by USC Upstate.
Â
This year, the Buccaneers have been led by a group of returners and newcomers to help pave the way for a successful fall. At the top of the group, Freya Buglass has led them with her having a personal best time in the 5K at the CSU Buc Open to begin the year. She recorded a time of 17:57.2 to win the individual title at the meet.
Â
The top freshman so far has been Amron Rice, who has been named the Big South Freshman of the Week on three occasions as well as the Runner of the Week once. Her best times this year have been 18:15.6 at the CSU Buc Open and a 22:13.8 in the 6K at the Furman Invitational.
Â
Other runners of note have been Lucy McNamara who is coming off a career best 5K time of 18:08.9 at the Upstate Invite and Charlize Antia who was just off her PR with an 18:10.3 at the same meet. Katrina Husby and Elizabeth Shaylor should contribute with each of them entering their fourth season at CSU and having an All-Conference finish at the meet in their careers. Sophia Scherwinski and Adda Helmers are another pair of freshmen that have made a big impact so far with them holding season best times of 18:22.2 and 18:34.8 entering the meet.
Â
During the regular season, Charleston Southern won a pair of meets with them being at the CSU Buc Open to begin the fall and the Winthrop Invitational. They claimed second at the Furman Invitational and took a fifth-place finish at the Upstate Invitational in a field of 36 teams.
Â
Following this race, the Buccaneers will return to Spartanburg for the NCAA Southeast Regionals which will be competed at the same course on Friday, November 13.
