MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — There's a real sense of pride in claiming a conference title at any time in collegiate athletics but having witnessed several in my time at Middle Tennessee, it hits differently when it's done before you've even had breakfast on a Saturday morning.
I presume the Cross Country runners under the leadership of Keith Vroman had some sort of breakfast before they hit the course in Bowling Green, Ky. for this year's CUSA Championships, but after watching parts of three MTSU wins the night before, I was just finishing smearing the cream cheese on my bagel when I pulled up the timing sheet and saw MTSU's men go 3-4-5-6 with their first four scoring runners.
