FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Orlando, Fla. – Everest University Athletics has announced the roster for the 2020 Women’s Cross Country Team.
1st year:
Audrey Echols – Baker High School
Amber Hollingsworth – Penn Foster High School
Merlin Leal – Suwannee High School
Savana Thomas – Bell High School
2nd year:

Coach April Morse, who is entering her third year leading Everest University Women’s Cross Country, continues to recruit and hopes to further grow the team before practice begins on August 1. “My goal for the team is to be competitive in NJCMA, Region 8,” said Morse. She aims for her runners to have a 5K time in the 22-minute range. “That would put us towards the front of the pack.”
Last season, Everest University finished sixth place out of 10 teams in the region with two athletes going on to compete at the NJCMA Half Marathon Championships in El Paso, TX.
The team’s first competition of the season will be the Border Clash hosted by Valdosta State University on September 4.
