The UC Cross Country teams opened their 2016 seasons tonight at the Berea/ Centre College Cross Country Kick Off Classic. The Patriot ladies would participate in a 2 mile race followed by the men running a 5K event. Second year Head Coach Randy Greer was excited about the event, knowing the Patriots had a great chance at some high finishes. The women's team would come away with a third place finish of eight competing teams while the men finished second overall out of ten teams.
