Tiger Men Dominate Two Rivers Conference
Championship To Extend The Streak of Conference Titles That Dates
Back to 1998 |
By Herb Foochelmeister, SVXC
Correspondent, October 20, 20007 |
Hope Mills - "Has it been that long?"
Asked Kevin Sullivan, a member of that first conference championship
team in 1998. Before the meet, Sullivan spoke briefly to the
team, offering some inspirational words. Immediately
afterward, he spoke of how far the the South View program has come
since that first title in 1998. He continued, "I can
remember when we were that team of scrubs out there just trying to
survive in those invitational meets. To think of what has
happened since is just amazing."
|
Senior Dwayne
Townsend led the Tigers to their 10th straight championship. |
Sullivan led the Tigers from 1997 to
1999, earning all conference recognition all three years and anchoring
the teams' first two titles in his junior and senior seasons.
Sullivan was a part of the great senior class that laid the
groundwork for the the Big Orange Running Machine. That senior
class also included all conference runners Rory Blake, Joe Biddix
and Jesse Springer. Coach Jesse Autry still looks back on that
group with fond memories of "growing up" as a
program. As Autry said later, "They really started
something, didn't they?" It's always nice to see those
guys, but to see some of the old guys come back on a night like this
was really special."
On Wednesday, the South View men ran to
a tenth title in as many years, maintaining the legacy started by
Sullivan and Company in that very close 1998 shootout with Terry
Sanford. But on October 17th, 2007, no shootout was necessary
as South View's men once again steamrolled the competition, took a
majority of the all conference spots, dominated the Developmental
Race and swept all seven spots on the All Freshmen team.
And still, they were totally unsatisfied. One of the slogans
for South View Cross Country is "a higher standard than
victory." "We ran good enough to win, but we
just were not on our A-game tonight. For us, the race is
always with ourselves, and overall we just did not have that
edge. That comes back on me." Autry stated
afterward. "We won ugly." Senior Philip
Misklow said afterward. South View may have been a bit tired
after winning the highly competitive Tanglewood Invitational last
Saturday, but they were all quick to say "no
excuses." "On the 27th you will see a different
team." Autry said.
Dwayne Townsend led South View with his
second-place overall finish. Earning All Conference
recognition with Townsend were Derrick Poage, Kenny Hinman, Philip
Misklow, Aaron Holmes, Christian Wiscovitch, Cedric Wilson and
Keegan Rice.
In the Developmental Race, Erik Smith
edged senior Dan Armstrong for the individual win, as the Tiger men
swept the top 13 spots and took 25 of the top 29 places in the men's
race. Recognized along with Smith and Armstrong for their top
10 performance were Clayton Pierce, Tommy Baldridge, Chris Small,
Eddy Chrisman, Kris Sirois, Jose

Panduro, Darius Marsh and Charlie
Reid.
The young guns had a great night, as
well. Autry poined out quickly, that his sophomore class has
really been a sight to see this year. "Most folks just
seen Kenny, but the truth is, our sophs are flat out
good." After Hinman (who is in the 16s, time-wise), the
sophomores have six guys already running 18s. Right behind
them is a class of super-freshmen who boast seven runners who have
gone under the 20 minute mark this year. All seven of them
made the all freshman team Wednesday night. Tommy Baldridge,
who ran an impressive 18:04, and Eddy Chrisman have really paved the
way for the class of 2011, flirting with running in the 17s this
year. The combined with Connor Mang, Casey Glomore, Michael
Roseberry, Josh Cubitt and Jesse Autry to sweep the seven spots of
the All Freshman team.
Once the meet was over, the Tigers were
already looking forward to the Regional Championship to be held at
South View on Saturday, October 27th. The 2007 version of the
Tigers has been pretty good at learning from mistakes and moving
past them. Autry hope this trend continues as Pinecrest, West
Johnston and Hoggard come to Hope Mills in a
week. |

Lady Tigers Pull Together |
South View Finishes as Conference Runner Up for
a Second Straight Year; Looks Forward to Regional Championships |

Ladies warm-up before the start of the women's championship. |

Hope Mills - Despite massive personnel losses
throughout the 2007 cross country season, the South View Lady Tigers
kept their focus and ran a competitive race on Wednesday night at
the Two Rivers Conference Championships. Depleted by injuries
and other outside factors, the Ladies did not have a single runner
in the Developmental Race for the first time ever. "We
needed everybody in the championship race." Coach Landis
said afterward. "But boy are we proud of these ladies;
they ran their hearts out." Led by sophomore Lauren Lee,
the Lady Tigers finished second behind a powerhouse Terry Sanford
team that has been ranked in the states' top ten most of the year.
Lee was in the zone from the gun, and
maybe even before that. "She was in the zone

all week in
practice. I think we knew she was going to have a great
race." Coach Autry said. Joining Lee on the
2007 Two Rivers All Conference squad were Lakeisha Parker, freshman
phenom, Rebecca Misklow, Cassandra Serje and Annette Sem.
German foreign exchange student Helena Rafolsky missed an all
conference spot by one spot. Along with Misklow, Brittney
Stevens earned All Freshmen recognition.
The South View coaches were also very excited about the performance
of the sophomore trio of Amanda Anderson, Jessica Bean and Katherine
Merritts. "We are a very young team and I like the
attitude of this group.
"These girls have really
faced adversity this year. We cannot say enough about the way
they have pulled together." Landis said. She
continued, "They have set a goal to get back to the state
championship, and it is a very realistic goal." |
