2004 PAC Men's Cross Country Coaches Pre-season Poll
PAC Coaches Select Misericordia as Favorite in Men's Cross Country
Aston, PA - Misericordia University'a men's cross country team has been selected as the pre-season favorite in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) coaches poll. Misericordia, the three-time defending Conference Champion, was a unanimous selection, earning all seven first-place votes for a total of 49 points.
Marywood University, which finished in third at the PAC Championships a year ago, finished second in the poll by two points over last year's runner-up, Cabrini College. Marywood earned 38 points, while Cabrini notched 36 in the vote.
"We are flattered to be picked to win the PAC again," Misericordia coach Brandon Uhl said. "We return three All-PAC runners, including two-time defending PAC Champion Chris Wadas. We are looking forward to the challenge of defending our title."
Misericordia placed eight runners on the All-PAC team a season ago led by Wadas.
Arcadia University (27), Wesley College (21), Gwynedd-Mercy College (13) and Alvernia College (12) rounded out the voting.
The PAC Championships will be hosted by Gwynedd-Mercy on October 30.
