<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 />

4<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.
