RALEIGH, N.C. - For the second time this season, the East Carolina men's and women's cross country teams ran at the WakeMed Soccer Park and turned in impressive performances. On Saturday, Nov. 8, both squads ran in the Pack Invitational, hosted by North Carolina State. The men's team came in fourth out of five squads in the 5K while the women placed third out of five, also in a 5K.
