Greensboro, NC -- The Concord Mountain Lions are peaking at the right time as they won the coveted wooden 1st place trophy of the Greensboro Cross Country Invitational held at Hagan Stone Park by team effort over St. Andrews Presbyterian College Knights of Laurinburg NC. St. Andrews placed three runners ahead of Concord University of Athens, WV, but the Concord depth was too much too overcome. The knights placed runners in the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 12th, and 42nd spots. However, the talented Mountain Lion squad placed 5 runners in the top 15 and had 7 runners in the top 23 places. Randy Horner finished in 7th (27:33.6) followed by Chris Herron in 8th (27:38.3), Chris Snell in 13th (27:47.7), Ryan Kent in 14th (27:48.90), and Scott Grose in 15th (27:52.6).
