CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Royals cross country teams were back in action at the UNC-Charlotte Invite Saturday at McAlpine Park with two outstanding individual runs by Felix Duchampt and Andrea Guerra highlighting the results for the Queens University of Charlotte.
Guerra led the women's team finishing in eight place overall with a time of 21:40 confirming her early season form. In addition to Guerra, Mathilde Timboni finished in 23:17 for 73rd place. So Oh Young ran a time of 24:29, while Megan Delamer, Audrey Sizemore, and Summer McFadden finished with results in the top 150.
The Royals feature a young squad outside of seniors Guerra and Timboni, and those young runners are gaining valuable experience in these early competitions. Head Coach Jim Vahrenkamp was delighted with their progress stating, "I felt our women all made a stride forward today. We are growing as a team and continuing to work hard towards the conference and regionals at end of season."
The course at McAlpine Park will host the NCAA DII Regionals later this year and the Royals will look to use today's experience to their advantage. Overall the team finished in 19th position with an average time of 23:53.
On the men's side junior Felix Duchampt again led the way for the Royals. Duchampt competed hard all race long and in the end finished in fourth place with a time of 25:16. The talented freshman Jake Betancourt was the next highest finisher for the Royals coming in 38th in this strong competition.
"Our freshman doing this well is a big deal for us and it gives me confidence going forward," Vahrenkamp stated.
James Hollingsworth and Alex Guillaume were the next highest finishers for the Royals. Chris Vilela, Dominik Scholle, and Nathan Smith rounded out the runners competing for the Royals today. Overall the men would wind up in 15th position with an average time of 27:10.
"This was a good measure for our runners to compete against other teams from region," Vahrenkamp added. "We are continuously working on both physical and mental maturation with our runners and today will only help our team moving forward."
Both teams will be on the road next weekend traveling to Bethlehem, Pa., for the Lehigh University Paul Short Race on Saturday, October 5.
