Cross country has always been taken very seriously at App State, and the program is one of the most successful athletic programs in the school’s history. Head coach Michael Curcio is in his 23rd year at the helm of the team, and the men have claimed 16 conference championships in the last 30 years, finishing outside the top three just twice with one of them being their fourth place finish last season.
“We are very pleased with the progress, there was actually one man that was in our top seven last year that returned and that was Evan Georges who was our fifth man last year, back at 40th [overall],” Curcio said.
