LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Longwood University men's cross country posted 923 points to finish 32nd among 34 teams Saturday at the 2010 NCAA Southeast Regional Championships hosted by the University of Louisville and ran at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park in Kentucky.  The College of William and Mary took first place with 85 points, and Liberty University's Sam Chelanga (29:55) was the individual winner, while the Lancers were led by junior Darren Simpson|Crewe (FUMA) with his time of 34:10 over the 10K course for 155th-place individually in the field of 231.  Longwood will now conclude its 2010 campaign on Saturday, November 20, at the prestigious IC4A Championships in the Bronx, New York.
 
Following Simpson for Longwood were sophomore Sean Flynn|Goodview (Roanoke Catholic) (34:30, 168th), along with juniors Alex Strittmater|Haymarket (Battlefield) (35:44, 204th), Robert Webb|Williamsburg (Lafayette) (36:02, 212th), and Justin Cooke|Chesterfield (Manchester) (36:31, 216th).  Also running was freshman Kyle Moller|Gainesville (Battlefield) (37:32, 222nd).  All six Lancers ran new collegiate-best times for the 10K distance.

"I am very pleased with the overall individual performances as most had season-bests and ran better than last year," said head coach Catherine Hanson.  "We have had a very hilly training regime this year and I'm excited for us to race at the Van Cortlandt course next week with the traditional 8K and 5K distances.  Overall the season has been a very successful one in as far as team and individual performances go."
