In 2008, the Bears earned a bid to the NAIA Meet and placed 11th, their best finish in school history. The Bears’ came back the next year with a goal to finish better. After finishing 2nd at the American Mideast Conference Meet behind 2009 NAIA Champion Malone Universi- ty, the Bears’ captured their first top 5 finish, placing 4th overall. 2010 was nothing less than special. The team took four meet titles as well as winning the All-Ohio NAIA/Division II Meet. In their first season in the Mid-South Conference, the Bears ran over their competition with a perfect score of 15 to capture the program’s first conference title. Shawnee State kept up their momentum to finish 4th for the second consecutive year at the NAIA Meet, despite overcoming numerous obstacles in the meet. Shawnee State looks to continue their success this season, despite having to replace 10 from last year’s roster. Graduation wounded the Bears’ roster from last year as four of the Bears’ top seven runners will not return this season, including 2010 MSC Runner of the Year and 2008 All-American Keegan Rathkamp, Marathon All-American Michael Owen, Chuck Wentz and Josh Linkous. These four runners have been an instrumental part of the Bears’ success the past few years. Despite losing four of the top seven runners, the Bears’ aren’t looking to rebuild but to reload. Three top runners return to lead the Bears. Junior Galen Dills will contend as the Bears’ top runner. Junior Blake Wysocki and sophomore and 2010 MSC Freshman of the Year Brad Lis- ton also return to lead the young Bears. Also returning for the Bears are juniors Brandon Brown and Eli Gerlach and sophomores Jeremy Anderson, Tyler Cone, Jeremy Hornick, Ad- am Schroeder, Jordan Selbee and Joe Stewart. Dills, Liston, Linkous, Wysocki and Schroeder each earned MSC honors last season. SSU’s 2011 roster boasts nine newcomers, including a pair of transfers and a promising fresh- man class. Senior Derek Ryan comes to the Bears’ squad after running three seasons at Mar- ian University, where he was a NAIA National Qualifier and MCC honoree. Tyler Hooley, transferred in after one season for the Quakers at Wilmington College. Other newcomers in- clude sophomore Jeremy Hornick and freshmen Taylor Conn, Breydon Gates, Sammy Hol- bert, Corey James, Brandon Magill and Sam Power. Holbert comes from a very successful running program at Unioto High School. He was a four-year state qualifier in cross country for the Tanks. Gates qualified for the state cross country meet twice during his high school career at Belpre and finished 24th overall as a senior with a time of 16:20. Shawnee State’s schedule boasts a field of tough competition. The Bears open the season on September 3rd at the Flyer 5K at the University of Dayton against a field of NCAA and NAIA competitors. Shawnee State then runs at the Iona College Meet of Champions and the All- Ohio Championship, before they return home on October 7th to win their ninth consecutive Shawnee State Invitational. The Bears then travel to Michigan for the Great Lake Chal- lenge. Shawnee State returns home to host the Mid-South Conference Meet on November 5th. On November 19, the Bears look to make their fourth consecutive trip the NAIA National Championship. 7 Shawnee State Cross Country Outlook, continued The Shawnee State Women’s Cross Country Team is looking to have their best season in school history as they return six of last year’s top runners. Last season, in their inaugural sea- son in the Mid-South Conference the Bears captured the programs first ever conference title and earned the team’s second bid to the NAIA National Meet where they finished 25th. Shaw- nee State looks to defend their conference title and better their finish this year at the NAIA Meet. Leading the Bears this season is a core of upperclassman including four seniors and a jun- ior. Sara Armstrong, Brittney LiPira, Brianna McCauley and Torey Predmore, all of which are four-year letter winners, return for their final season at Shawnee State and hope to make it memorable, while junior Kasey Hosier returns for a third season. In their freshman season, Armstrong, LiPira, McCauley and Predmore helped Shawnee State earn their first NAIA Na- tional Meet appearance in which they finished 11th overall.
