Longwood runners set program records at the Big South Cross Country Championships, led by junior Sophie Farley’s fourth-place finish in the women’s 5K and junior Andrew Hathaway’s 18th-place finish in the men’s 8K. Farley earned First Team All-Conference honors as the women placed fourth; the men finished sixth.

By the Numbers
  • Farley ran the 5K in 17:31.9, a Longwood program record.
  • Hathaway ran the 8K in 24:54.2, also a program record.
  • Longwood’s women scored 96 points; the men scored 186.
  • Six Lancers earned new top-10 spots on the program’s performance lists.
Yes, But

Despite the individual records, neither team reached the podium: the women finished fourth, and the men sixth. Head coach Brooke Craig said the team’s preparation and effort helped it take a step forward.

Bottom Line

Longwood’s championship results brought two new program benchmarks and a conference honor, giving both teams a strong measure of progress beyond their team finishes.
