Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Cross Country Adds State Champion Runner

JACKSON, Tenn. - 4/21/2006 - The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University men’s cross country team added another top recruit to Thursday signing from Saltillo, Mississippi. Covington joins Jackson Christian standout Justin Reid as Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s two early signees.

Covington is coming off a cross country season in which he won many of his races, including the 4A State Championship meet in Mississippi.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ head coach Gary Johnson feels confident that Covington will step in right away and be an asset to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. "Seth is a great person, student, and athlete, the ideal combination for our program. He is involved in his church, has a 4.0 GPA, and is a state champion athlete. We are looking forward to Seth and Justin adding to the depth and talent of our team over the next four years."

The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ men’s team has won back-to-back TranSouth Titles and is coming off their highest NAIA Region XI finish in the program’s short history. This past fall, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ placed third in the Region XI Meet and sent two runners to the NAIA National Cross Country meet as individual qualifiers.
