🔺 Record Year. The history continues for Gamecock cross country! A program record four student-athletes were named to the USTFCCCA All-Region Team. Salma Elbadra, Abir Reffas, Anya Arroyo, and Teresa Cherotich earned district honors as they helped the team reach the NCAA Championship for the first time. To qualify for All-Region honors, athletes must finish inside the top 25 on the individual leaderboard.
