<strong>2010</strong> WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY<br />
The <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Greenville</strong> <strong>College</strong> Lady Panthers cross country team ran up against their most<br />
formidable opponent in recent history – youth.<br />
The team returned only two runners from the 2009 St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic<br />
Conference (SLIAC) Champion squad. Despite their best efforts the inexperience proved<br />
too much as the Ladies finished 3rd in the SLIAC, breaking their string of 6 consecutive<br />
titles.<br />
TRACK & FIELD CROSS COUNTRY<br />

The season was not without its victories. Michelle Sutton (Springport, MI / Jackson)<br />
and Aubree Schreder (Waterloo, IL / Waterloo) proved a formidable duo as they claimed<br />
1-2 finished in three straight races, including the SLIAC Championships.<br />
Sutton won races at the Gibson Family Cross-country Invitational in Terre Haute, IN and<br />
the University of Evansville Invitational. She finished her illustrious career with 3 of the<br />
top 6 6K times in school history along with the top spot on the 5K list (18:18). She also<br />
garnered the honor of NCAA DIII All-Region by way of her 26th place performance at<br />
the Midwest Regional Championships.<br />
The upstart Schreder came on strong in her inaugural campaign. While spending much<br />
of the season under the veteran tutelage of Sutton, Schreder came into her own by<br />
winning the SLIAC individual championship. The victory earned her both SLIAC Runner<br />
of the Year and SLIAC Newcomer of the Year, in addition to a 6K school record with<br />
a time of 22:06. She carried that success into the NCAA DIII Midwest Regional Meet<br />
where she finished 23rd overall and became the first female in <strong>Greenville</strong> <strong>College</strong> Crosscountry<br />
history to qualify for the NCAA DIII National Championships. Her season was<br />
completed with an 82nd place showing, which was the 6th best performance among all<br />
freshman in the meet.<br />
Aubree Schreder<br />
Michelle Sutton<br />
As the Lady Panthers look ahead to the 2011 season they will rely heavily upon the<br />
quality finishes of Aubree Schreder and will look for continued contributions from<br />
returning SLIAC scorers Rosie Nelson (Brimfield, IL / Elmwood) and Carisa Wilson<br />
(Shelbyville, IL / Shelbyville) and Manning Heaps (Chatham, IL / New Berlin).

2011 WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD PREVIEW<br />
The <strong>2010</strong> edition of the <strong>Greenville</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Lady Panthers put together the<br />
type of quality season that has become<br />
the standard of the program. The team<br />
produced a pair of top-5 finishes in<br />
the National Christian <strong>College</strong> Athletic<br />
Association (NCCAA) indoor and outdoor<br />
national championship meets, produced<br />
nine school records and had five qualify<br />
for the NCAA DIII national meet with one<br />
DIII All-American.<br />
Rochaunda Harris (East St. Louis, IL<br />
/ East St. Louis) had a breakthrough<br />
season for the women in <strong>2010</strong>. During<br />
the indoor season, her school record of<br />
60’6½” was the 3rd best throw in all of<br />
the nation amongst NCAA DIII schools in<br />
the Weight Throw. Her indoor success<br />
gave Harris a great deal of confidence<br />
which she carried over to the outdoor<br />
throws where she was a national finalist<br />
in the Hammer Throw. At the DIII<br />
Outdoor Championships, she had yet<br />
another personal best throw of 171’7”<br />
to place 8th and garner the first All-<br />
American honor of her career.<br />
Penny Grant (Beardstown, IL /<br />
Beardstown) was another national<br />
finalist for the Lady Panthers during the<br />
outdoor campaign. The All-American<br />
long jumper missed most of the indoor<br />
season due to a foot injury, but came<br />
back strong outdoors to jump 18’11¾”<br />
and make the DIII Championship meet.<br />
Seniors Jaclyn Johnson-Cross<br />
(Belleville, IL / Belleville East) and Talen<br />
Gerber (Fairbury, IL / Prairie Central) also<br />
had NCAA DIII qualifying performances<br />
during the season. Johnson-Cross<br />
threw a huge PR in the Hammer Throw<br />
going 162’6”. Gerber, who came back<br />
from being hit by a car during the 2009<br />
Cross country season, ran an impressive<br />
2:14.51 in one of the seasons premier<br />
events in Women’s DIII Track & Field, the<br />
800m run.<br />
Michelle Sutton (Springport, MI /<br />
Jackson) continued to set the standard<br />
for the women’s distance squads. During<br />
the <strong>2010</strong> season she single-handedly<br />
rewrote the record books by claiming<br />
the top spot in 4 different events. During<br />
the indoor season she bested her own<br />
Mile record by running 5:11.40. Then<br />
she continued to pick up steam as she<br />
headed outdoors and captured records<br />
in the 1500m, 3000m, and 5000m events<br />
posting times of 4:43.22, 10:16.41, and<br />
17:54.10, respectively.<br />
Tricia Gall (Troy, IL / Triad) made an<br />
immediate impact as the freshman<br />
set school records in the Triple Jump<br />
during both indoor (36’1¼”) and outdoor<br />
(35’1¾”) seasons. Other school records<br />
were claimed by Kristen Schutte<br />
(Stewardson, IL / Stewardson-Strasburg<br />
) in the Javelin (126’01”) and the<br />
Distance Medley Relay team of Jennifer<br />
Sutton (Springport, MI / Jackson), Philita<br />
Johnson (East St. Louis, IL / East St.<br />
Louis), Talen Gerber, and Sara Schlink<br />
(Washington, IL / Washington).<br />
As the women move into the 2011<br />
season, there will be many gaps to fill<br />
as last year’s team graduated 10 ladies.<br />
However, there is a wealth of young<br />
talent that will continue to keep the team<br />
moving forward.<br />
Rochaunda Harris and Penny Grant<br />
will look to move up the NCAA DIII<br />
podium and add to their already stellar
esumes of school records and All-<br />
American honors.<br />
Kristen Schutte returns with Harris as<br />
one of the top female throwers. Schutte<br />
specializes in the Discus and the Javelin<br />
and will look to better her school record<br />
in the latter event.<br />
In the sprints it will be Rose Sanders<br />
(Virden, IL / Virden) as the top returner.<br />
She will be pushed by Penny Grant and<br />
Philita Johnson. Johnson’s focus is the<br />
400m event in which she ran a personal<br />
best 58.37 in <strong>2010</strong>. Imari Mason (Chicago,<br />
IL / Kenwood Academy) enters the season<br />
as the Lady Panthers’ lead multi-event<br />
performer.<br />
Michelle Sutton will once again anchor<br />
the women’s distance crew as she will<br />
return to finish her eligibility as a 5th<br />
year senior. Sutton will run alongside<br />
freshman standout Aubree Schreder<br />
(Waterloo, IL / Waterloo), a <strong>2010</strong> NCAA<br />
DIII Cross-country National Championship<br />
qualifier.<br />
Tricia Gall returns as the best triple<br />
jumper in school history. She will hope<br />
to improve her indoor record which left<br />
her just short of an NCAA qualifying<br />
mark. Freshman Taylor Brunner (Oreana,<br />
IL / Argenta-Oreana) should provide Gall<br />
some company, as she brings a high<br />
school best of 35’5” to the table in the<br />
Triple Jump.<br />
TRACK & FIELD CROSS COUNTRY<br />
7<br />
The Lady Panthers will have an exciting<br />
mix of experience and youth in the 2011<br />
season that should make the team a force<br />
to be reckoned with in both NCCAA and<br />
NCAA competition.

<strong>2010</strong> MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY<br />
TRACK & FIELD CROSS COUNTRY<br />
10<br />
<strong>2010</strong> saw the return of the <strong>Greenville</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Men’s Cross country team to the top of the<br />
heap in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic<br />
Conference (SLIAC). After two straight runnerup<br />
finishes, by a combined total of 4 points, the<br />
men captured their 12th SLIAC title in the last<br />
15 years. The men continued to perform well<br />
as they moved into the NCAA DIII Midwest<br />
Regional and finished 18th place in a region<br />
that featured 9 different schools that had been<br />
ranked among the nation’s top 30.<br />
Alan Hollingsworth (sophomore, Monticello, IL<br />
/ Monticello) was the top finisher in the SLIAC<br />
championship meet. His time of 25:27 earned<br />
him second overall and was the fastest 8K time<br />
by a Panther on the season. Hollingsworth was<br />
joined on the SLIAC First team All-Conference<br />
list by senior Cole Prins (Erie, IL / Erie) and<br />
junior Xavier Ortiz (Chicago, IL / AA Stagg), who<br />
Fr. Bryant Simpson, Jr. Leo Pathy,<br />
Jr. Nathan Young<br />
contributed 4th and 7th place finishes, respectively. Additional scorers for the men<br />
were SLIAC Second team All-Conference runners Bryant Simpson (freshman, Fairfield,<br />
IL / Fairfield) in 10th place and junior Leo Pathy (Palos Hills, IL / AA Stagg) in 13th.<br />
In the regional competition, it was Prins who finished his career with a personal<br />
best time of 25:46 to finish 85th overall. Rounding out the scoring on the day were<br />
Hollingsworth (25:51 – 89th), junior Coree Woltering (Ottowa, IL / Ottowa; 26:29 – 127th),<br />
Pathy (26:37 – 135th), and junior Nathan Young (Morton, IL / Morton; 26:38 – 136th).<br />
The future appears bright for the young Panther team as they will graduate only 2<br />
members of the <strong>2010</strong> team. Hollingsworth will lead the charge in 2011 along with<br />
returning scorers Woltering, Ortiz, Pathy, Simpson, and Young. This group will look for<br />
additional contributions from several other runners who found themselves finishing in<br />
the top 7 at various races including: Ross Baker (sophomore, St. Joseph, IL / Ogden),<br />
Ethan Ford (sophomore, St. Joseph, IL / Ogden), Josh Dees (sophomore, St. Joseph, IL<br />
/ Ogden), and Trevor Thompson (Williamsville, IL / Williamsville). Even more support<br />
will come from sophomore Barry Parks (Eldorado, IL / Eldorado) and freshman Jordan<br />
McCarty (Auburn, IL / Auburn) who both missed the <strong>2010</strong> campaign due to injury.

<strong>2010</strong> was a banner year for the <strong>Greenville</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Men’s Track and Field team.<br />
The men finished 3rd and 5th at the<br />
National Christian <strong>College</strong> Athletic<br />
Association (NCCAA) indoor and outdoor<br />
championships, qualified nine for the<br />
NCAA DIII national meet, had six school<br />
records and a pair of individual national<br />
championships.<br />
<strong>2010</strong>. The junior was a national qualifier in<br />
the 100m and as a member of the 4x100m<br />
relay team along with sprint teammate<br />
Brian White (Harvey, IL / Thornton). White<br />
had his name added to the <strong>Greenville</strong><br />
record books when he teamed up with<br />
Townsend, Oyler, and Lance Ward<br />
(<strong>Greenville</strong>, IL / <strong>Greenville</strong>) in the 1600m<br />
Sprint Medley Relay.<br />
TRACK & FIELD CROSS COUNTRY<br />
12<br />
2011 MEN’S TRACK & FIELD PREVIEW<br />
Edgar Townsend (St. Anne, IL / Kankakee)<br />
provided endless headlines for the<br />
Panthers. The 2009 NCAA DIII national<br />
champion in the 110m Hurdles came into<br />
his senior season with a bulls-eye on<br />
his back and he handled the pressure<br />
well. Townsend won his first indoor<br />
national title in the 55m Hurdles. He then<br />
proceeded to defend his 110m Hurdle title<br />
during the outdoor campaign giving him 3<br />
straight national championship victories.<br />
In addition to national championships,<br />
Townsend was a part of 5 school records<br />
by bettering his own marks in the 55m<br />
Hurdles, 60m Hurdles, and 110m Hurdles,<br />
tying the school record in the 200m, and<br />
taking part in one more record as a part<br />
of the indoor 1600m Sprint Medley Relay<br />
team. He was also a member of the<br />
national qualifying 4x100m Relay team<br />
during the outdoor season.<br />
Rodney Oyler (Macon, IL / Meridian)<br />
qualified for the DIII National<br />
Championships in both indoor and outdoor<br />
seasons. The middle distance specialist<br />
set the school record in the indoor 800m<br />
event and then qualified in the same event<br />
outdoors. He was also a member of the<br />
indoor 1600m Sprint Medley relay team<br />
that set a new <strong>Greenville</strong> standard.<br />
Gio Sykes (East St. Louis, IL / East St.<br />
Louis) provided the Panthers with their<br />
third DIII qualifying mark of the indoor<br />
season in the Triple Jump.<br />
Mark Mitchell (Kansas City, MO / Raytown<br />
South), once again, led the sprint crew in<br />
The Panthers had a pair of qualifying<br />
distances in the jumps. The Triple Jump<br />
saw another qualifier, this time it came<br />
from junior Warith Fennoy (East St. Louis,<br />
IL / East St. Louis) who leapt 46’9½“.<br />
MorrQuem Hobson (Springfield, IL /<br />
Lanphier) hit the mark in the long jump<br />
with a personal best of 23’3½“. Hobson<br />
also qualified for the championships as<br />
the fourth member of the 4x100m Relay<br />
team.<br />
It is never easy to replace a national<br />
champion, let alone a 3-time national<br />
champion. Things get even more difficult<br />
when you also have to fill the spot left<br />
void by a 7-time national qualifier. That<br />
is exactly the task set before the 2011<br />
<strong>Greenville</strong> Panther as they seek to cover<br />
ground left by Edgar Townsend and<br />
Rodney Oyler. The men will attempt to do<br />
so through a excellent balance of young<br />
talent and national level experience.<br />
Leading the charge will be Mark Mitchell.<br />
The senior looks to cap his career with<br />
yet another trip to the national finals and<br />
a chance to improve on his personal<br />
bests of 10.59 (100m) and 21.49 (200m).<br />
As was the case in the <strong>2010</strong> season,<br />
Mitchell will be pushed step for step by<br />
4x100m relay teammate Brian White who<br />
has a personal best of 10.89 in the 100m.<br />
This pair, along with several impressive<br />
freshmen, could prove to make the sprints<br />
<strong>Greenville</strong>’s top event group in the coming<br />
season.<br />
Top jumper Warith Fennoy will attempt to
etter his national position in the Triple<br />
Jump and secure a spot for himself in the<br />
national finals. In other field event action<br />
it is the tandem of Austin Teer (Abbotsford,<br />
BC, Canada) and Alex Wilson (Leoti, KS /<br />
Greely County) competing for the top spot in<br />
the Javelin. The two bring PR’s of 172’6” and<br />
164’, respectively, into action this season.<br />
On the distance side, Cole Prins (Erie, IL /<br />
Erie) will push the pace for the Panthers.<br />
After a breakout <strong>2010</strong> season that saw him<br />
drop his 5,000m PR to 15:39, he continued<br />
to progress throughout a cross country<br />
campaign where he improved by almost a<br />
full minute to 25:46 (8,000m). He will attempt<br />
to convert this success into even better<br />
things for his final season. Prins will be<br />
pushed by sophomore Alan Hollingsworth<br />
(Monticello, IL / Monticello). Despite a few<br />
good races, Alan struggled through his<br />
freshman year, but found his footing during<br />
the cross country season as he ran a team<br />
best 25:27. The previous year’s experience<br />
has given Hollingsworth confidence and<br />
strength to consistently contend in any race<br />
from 800m up to 5,000m.<br />
Coree Woltering is the top returner among<br />
the middle-distance runners. Coree’s<br />
season was cut short last year as he missed<br />
the end of the indoor and all of the outdoor<br />
season with a stress fracture. Before the<br />
injury he was on course to have an excellent<br />
season, running 1:56.41 in the indoor 800m<br />
and 4:23.83 in the indoor Mile. In addition<br />
to Woltering, the middle distance team also<br />
hopes to see success from the return of<br />
Barry Parks. Parks had a slow beginning<br />
track season as he rebounded from a season<br />
ending-injury during the cross country<br />
season. In his recovery he still managed to<br />
put together a personal best 4:06.28 1500m.<br />

It will be an exciting year for the <strong>Greenville</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Men’s Track and Field team as the<br />
young squad steps up into new roles of<br />
leadership and the next group of national<br />
qualifiers emerge.
