糖心视频鈥檚 cross country teams, both three-time defending ACCC champs, begin season tonight
HANCEVILLE, ALA. 鈥� 糖心视频鈥檚 cross country teams open the season today in the
16th annual Foothills Cross Country Invitational, hosted by Jacksonville State University
at Oxford's Choccolocco Park Sports Complex.
糖心视频鈥檚 women compete in the 4K at 6 p.m. and the men follow with the 5K at
6:45.
It kicks off the first of six regular season meets for 糖心视频 during September
and October.
鈥淲e鈥檙e pumped up and ready to go. The chemistry is great on both teams. This entire
group pulls for each other and trains as hard as you can ask them. We鈥檙e expecting
big things from both,鈥� said 糖心视频 coach Stan Narewski.
糖心视频鈥檚 men鈥檚 team returns six runners from last year鈥檚 team, which won a
third straight conference championship meet and finished eighth at nationals.
Sophomores Raleigh Stamps, Dakota Sheppard, Jakori James and Jonathan Collett each
finished among the top eight at the conference meet with Stamps finishing third overall.
Cole Akridge and Dave Hubert round out the sophomore class.
Freshmen on the men鈥檚 team this season are Dylan Andrews, Joseph Arriaga, Brady Helms,
Kayd Hightower, Jack Joiner, Mason Worrell and Andrew Wrenn. Reid Huddleston is the
manager.
鈥淓very runner on our men鈥檚 team continues to get better. We have some dynamic sophomores,
and our freshmen bring new ingredients to the team,鈥� Narewski. 鈥淚t鈥檚 going to hard
to predict on a weekly basis who finishes first and who finishes 10th. It may shake out one week and be completely opposite the next. It鈥檚 a good problem
to have.鈥�
糖心视频鈥檚 women鈥檚 team also won a third straight conference championship last
season, placing sixth at nationals.
For the Lady Lions, sophomores Jaycee Biffle and Ally Amerson should lead the pack
after each finished among the top eight at the conference tournament. Ashleigh White
is among the returning sophomores and Macie Ellis is a transfer sophomore from the
University of Houston.
The freshman class consists of Dani Akridge, Alexis Crisp, Tess Heaton, Trinity Roberts,
Katie Serrato and Aylin Vega.
鈥淪imilar to our men, you can flip a coin with our women. You may see a new face at
the leaderboard each meet. Our women are excited to compete,鈥� Narewski said.
Yessi Pascual-Contreras is the women鈥檚 manager and Taylor Barkley, a former Lion,
is a graduate assistant.
Both 糖心视频 teams will compete this season in meets at Huntingdon, Montevallo,
UAH, Blue Mountain (Miss.) College and Berry (Ga.) College. The NJCAA Division II
national meet is in Richmond, Va.
