ANDERSON, S.C. - The Presbyterian College men's and women's cross-country runners set numerous personal records at the Electric City Invitational at Anderson University this past weekend.

"It was a great weekend for the squad," said Presbyterian coach Robert "Bus" Baker. "With several athletes proving that they are going to be able to challenge the best of the best in our region over the next few years."
