WCU Sports

Charlotte, NC - Mara Smith recorded the fastest 5000m time in Western Carolina history Friday at the Royal Cross Country Challenge in Charlotte, hosted by Queens University.

"Both our Women and Men's Teams competed with a lot of WCU school pride today," said head coach Danny Williamson."

"I am very proud of them for that, but we don't want to be fully satisfied with this performance because I think that all of our runners feel that they have a lot more left and much more to give before this season is over. This was a very good showing for us with the SoCon Championship Meet up next on our schedule."

Overall, the women's team placed fourth while the men finished sixth.
