NEW ORLEANS, La. - Chase Wilson, a senior from Centre College, and Centre College head coach Lisa Owens were honored as the South/Southeast Regional Athlete and Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Wilson led the Colonels to the SCAC and South/Southeast Region team titles with individual victories in both races. At the SCAC Championships, he won despite suffering an injury earlier in the week that required eight stitches in his foot.
In her most successful season since becoming the men's cross country coach in 1998, Owens guided the No. 16 Colonels to their first-ever SCAC championship and followed that up with a first-place finish at the South/Southeast Regional.
