Nicole Briggs Places Third At The Seahawk Invitational
Sept. 9, 2006
WILMINGTON, N.C. - The men's and women's cross country team competed in their first meet Friday afternoon when they ran in the UNC Wilmington Seahawk Invitational. Nicole Briggs (third, 19:29:46) was the highest finisher on the women's side for ECU, while the top finisher for the men's division was Stephen Tausend (10th, 16:36:08). Overall UNC Wilmington won the men's race and Campbell won the women's division. The top men's finisher in the event was Verrelle Taylor (Campbell), who ran the 5K in 15:31:37. Pacing the women was Charlotte Farquharson (Campbell), who ran the 5K in 19:02:10. Nicole Briggs, Hayley Flynn (fifth, 19:36:50) and Samantha Lichtner (seventh, 19:52:12) were the top finishers on the women's side, while the men's side was paced by Stephen Tausend, Chris Belfiore (11th, 16:40:98) and Rich Saunders (12th, 16:41:71). "Both the men and women put in a very solid effort for the first event of the season," said head coach Curt Kraft. "We had four women place in the top-10 and three of them were freshman. It really shows that we are going to have a bright future. As for the men's side, Stephen Tausend ran very well and they are coming along as well. We have a lot of injuries on the men's team and I can sense that they are going to continue to improve every week."
The men's and women's cross country team will be back in action Sept. 16 for the Coastal Carolina Invite. The men will be running the 8K, while the women will compete in the 5K. The first meet for the Pirates at home will Sept. 30 for the McAlister's Deli Invite at Lake Kristi. ECU Women:
