Cross Country Begins Season in Blacksburg

CHAPEL HILL – The University of North Carolina cross country teams are gearing up for another season. Head Coach Mark VanAlstyne will look to get both teams into the NCAA Cross Country Championships for only the second time in program history.

On the women’s side the team loses two key seniors from last year in Annie LeHardy and Lianne Farber. LeHardy and Farber typically finished 1-2 in Carolina’s lineup for each meet last year and were both All-Americas in cross country. However, the team has depth with Karley Rempel, Caroline Alcorta, Hannah Christen, Josette Norris, Emma Astrike-Davis, and Mattie Webb returning.
