A Glance At the Cobras

The Coker University men's and women's cross country team will look to compete in the Charleston Classic on Saturday (Oct. 5). Race time for the men is slated for 9:00 a.m., and the women will follow at 9:45 a.m.

The Cobras will be looking to take advantage of the upcoming race as the South Atlantic Conference cross country championship is only a few weeks away. With many runners from both the men's and women's teams posting their collegiate best in last week's race the team looks to build on that as they move forward.

"With only two meets before conference this is a great opportunity for us to continue to get better," said head coach Peter Early. "We have see a lot of growth and look forward to continue on that path heading into our last few weeks."
