Men's Cross Country Joe Browning

Owens, Dempsey Pace Seahawks In Conway

CONWAY, South Carolina – Graduate student Summer Owens and sophomore Collin Dempsey led the way as the UNCW cross country teams competed in their fourth appearance of the season late Friday at the Hackler Golf Course near the Coastal Carolina campus

The Seahawks competed against 13 other teams in the women's race and 14 schools on the men's side.

The UNCW women totaled 189 points to finish seventh overall. Owens clocked a 19:28 time over the 5K layout for 32nd place individually out of 67 runners.

Wake Forest took first place in the women's race with 25 points, followed by Elon (58) and Charleston Southern (104).

In the men's 8K, UNCW raced only four runners due to injuries and illness. Dempsey, from Frederick, Md., finished 45th out of 90 competitors with a time of 28:31. It marked the first time in his career to lead the squad.

Charleston Southern took first place in the men's race with 22 points, while Elon had 67 and Stetson finished with 73.

 "Our number one goal was to come out and compete," said Jeff Klaves, UNCW's head cross country coach. "Today was about running a complete race from start to finish. We had our hardest week of training to this point, so we wanted to put together all of the pieces we've been working on to this point."

The Seahawks have one final tune-up before the Colonial Athletic Association Championships at the end of the month in Boston. The teams will participate in East Carolina's Pirate Invitational on Friday, Oct. 15, in Greenville, N.C.
