Cross Country Announces One Of The Largest Combined Cross Country Recruiting Classes In School History

First year head cross country coach Bill Hodge has announced that 14 new men and women cross country recruits have committed to running at Belmont Abbey College for the 2010 Cross Country season.

"I believe this incoming class of men and women along with our returning veterans (11) will be the building block for a great program going forward. It will give us what I believe to be the largest combined cross country team ever here at Belmont Abbey College."
