The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s cross
country team moved up another spot in the United State Track and Field and
Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) poll this week to No. 4.
The Mocs climbed one spot to fourth, unseating Alabama after
beating the Tide at the Greater Louisville Cross Country Classic in Louisville,
Ky., last week. Chattanooga finished 12th in the event that featured
29 teams and 249 runners, ahead of South Region foes Alabama, Middle Tennessee,
Ole Miss, Kennesaw State, Belmont, East Tennessee State and Eastern Kentucky.
Senior Chris Berry (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) led the charge for
the Mocs placing 26th overall and was followed by sophomore Lucas
Cotter (Collierville, Tenn.) who finished 29th and less than one
second behind.
The Mocs return to action Saturday, October 15 for the Front
Runner Invitational hosted by Chattanooga at the Moccasin Bend Race Course. The
women’s two-mile race is set to start at 3 p.m. followed by the men’s
5-kilometer event.
