GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina men's and women's cross country teams put their 2016 campaign to rest Friday, competing in the NCAA Southeast Regional at Paramore Farms in Charlottesville, Va. The men took 18th place in the 10K while the women finished 21st in the 6K.

"We had a great day on the toughest course we have run all season," assistant coach Josey Weaver said. "We competed and fought the entire race, which was great to see out of our team. We beat some really good teams, along with some in-state rivals, and I am very excited about the future of our young men's and women's teams. We bounced back from conference and showed that we are a force to be reckoned with in the Southeast Region. Today concluded our cross country season on a high note, and we will now shift our focus to indoor track. I expect big and exciting things from our student-athletes in the future. I am so proud to be a part of Pirate Nation! I truly believe that we're not where we want to be, not where we're going to be but headed to where we will be."
