The Cavalier cross country team had a solid showing at this year's Southeastern Classic, hosted by Berry College. The Cavaliers finished 7^th out of 20 teams. 2^nd ranked AAC rival King College finished ahead of the Cavaliers (4^th place) by 18 points. Montreat managed to hold off the 3^rd ranked AAC team, Covenant College (11^th place). 

"This was a nice tune up for our guys. We have an idea of where we stand. I have no doubt that we have another amazing race within us and Lord willing, it will come at the AAC's," said Coach Larios. "King has a nice pack, we knew this all along. But, it was nice to finally run toe-to-toe with them so our guys can see where they stood against them. Coach Dalton has a nice tight squad at King, but I think we were able to put up an honorable showing today. I'm encouraged by the quality of teams in this conference this year. Coach Stoker at Bryan College is doing some amazing things too."

The Cavs were led once again by Kenyan native, Wilbourn Kosgei. Kosgei's season best performance of 25:56.48 was good enough for 4^th place overall. Daytona Beach native Daniel Dunn put together an aggressive race to hit his personal best 8K performance of 27:23.63 for a 36^th place finish. Ben Hall, Andrew Hege, and Justin Edwards rounded out the top-five scorers for Montreat.
