The Bears were led by junior Genna Eisenmann (Clayton, N.C./Clayton

Freshman Miranda Annas (Granite Falls, N.C./South Caldwell HS) finished
sixth with a time of 20:13. Both Eisenmann and Annas earned spots on the All-SAC

On the men’s side, L-R finished fourth behind Mars Hill, Lincoln Memorial and

L-R was led by sophomore Brad Popple (Iron Station, N.C./East Lincoln
HS) and redshirt freshman Eugene Cochran (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster HS)
who finished the 8K course fifth and sixth with times of 25:55 and 26:07,
respectively. Both runners earned first team all-league honors, while Cochran

The Lions took home the team title for the 11th consecutive year with three
