Spotlight College of the Month
Montreat College is our spotlight College of the Month. Nestled away on the outskirts of Black Mountain N.C., Montreat College is a Christian liberal arts college accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to offer master's, bachelor's, and associate's degrees. The main campus is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains fifteen miles east of Asheville, North Carolina, a region recognized as one of the most attractive living environments in the United States. Satellite campuses in Asheville, Charlotte, and other sites supplement the main campus. The College is committed to Christ-centered teaching and learning, and is a member of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities.
The Cross Country team and Track team is headed by Head Coach Jose Larios. He is in his second year at Montreat and is working very hard to take this program to the next level. He has had success recruiting local North Carolina athletes such as 1A standouts Elisabeth Elliot and Ben Hall from Polk County High School. I can see nothing holding this talented and young team back. We wish Coach Larios and his runners all the best this next year.

Cross Country Camp 2008
Great job to Melanie Hamel and Chelsea Dufour for attending and successfully completing the Pitt County XC camp that was held in Black Mountain N.C. They got to do several long runs in as well as plenty of hiking. The highlight of the trip was going to Montreat College to run on their awesome course and to do their ropes course as well. Big kudos go out to Head XC and Track Coach Jose Larios for his hospitality. Our teams thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience that the Montreat College staff provided. Practice for all county XC teams begin today. Good luck in your quest for a great season. Coach D.
