After a historic 2020 season, the Troy women's cross country team was tabbed fourth while the men were picked ninth in the Sun Belt Preseason Coaches Poll, the league announced Wednesday.
The squad will be directed by first-year head coach Brian Cunningham. Cunningham joined the Troy staff following two seasons in a similar role at Bridgewater College. Following his first year at Bridgewater, he was named the USTFCCCA South/Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year.
"I'm excited to kick off our season this week and see some of the initial results of our summer training," Cunningham said.
