The ETSU men’s cross country team moved ahead of Kennesaw State for second place in this week’s Atlantic Sun Conference coaches poll.
The Bucs entered the preseason ranked third in the conference, but after their first meet this past weekend at the Virginia Tech Invitational, ETSU surpassed Owls for second. ETSU trails conference leader Belmont by 22 points, and holds the slimmest margin over Kennesaw, 122 to 121.
Junior Jeff Crane (Taylors, S.C.) led the Bucs last weekend at Blacksburg, Va., finishing the 6,000-meter race second overall with a mark of 18:42. Joining Crane in the top-10 was senior Jordan Ladd (Lyn, Ontario) with a time of 19:05. Ladd finished the race 10th overall.
ETSU competes in the Winthrop/Asics Invitational on Saturday in Rock Hill, S.C.
