Red Wolves execute plans, win Sun Belt championships

Arkansas State's men were victorious for the first time in school history Friday at the Sun Belt Conference Cross Country Championships, helping the Red Wolves finish a sweep of conference titles in Mobile, Ala.

"I'm extremely proud of our programs," Coach Jesse Duvall said in a release. "We came into today with a very specific race plan. Both the men and women executed the plan as well as I could have asked and showed a lot of heart in the last 1,000 meters.

The ASU women kicked things off, finishing well ahead of second-place Appalachian State. The Red Wolves put three runners -- Pauline Meyer, Sophie Leathers and Elizabeth Martin -- among the top eight, pulling away for a third straight Sun Belt title

Meyer, a native of Gronau-Epe, Germany, added to her records with a meet-record 16:51.
