BULLDOG BITES
Two Years in a Row
Last year's fourth place finish allowed the UNC Asheville men to secure their best finish since 2003. The Bulldogs held steady for the second straight year with another strong fourth place finish.
Top-6 Since 2012
With its fourth place finish as a team this year once again, UNC Asheville women's cross country has now finished in the top-6 every year since 2012. The Bulldogs finished third in 2013, and Asheville has finished fourth as a team in three of the last four years (2015, 2017 and 2018).
Quotable
"We're pretty excited about what we accomplished with our teams," UNC Asheville cross country head coach Jesse Norman said. "On the women's side, to have so many freshmen and finish fourth it's really exciting. On the men's side, I think we are overall pretty excited considering the conditions."
