Senior Charlie Meade helped the Eagles to a first-place finish at the NCAA South/Southeast Regional Championships last weekend.  Meade paced the Emory pack and finished third overall out of 174 runners with an 8K time of 26:38. Meade's effort enabled him to earn all-region honors for the third straight year and marked the third time this season in five races that he ranked as the team's top performer.  Emory finished the South/Southeast Regionals with 33 points, easily outdistancing runner-up Lynchburg's total of 102 points. 

The Eagles' No. 1 finish at Regionals clinched an automatic spot in next Saturday's NCAA Championships in Cleveland.
