Sophomore Tess Gallegos helped the Eagles to a runner-up effort at the NCAA South/Southeast Regional Championships last weekend in Greensboro, NC.  Gallegos was the first Eagle to cross the finish line and ninth out of 189 entries with a 6K performance of 24:04.  It marked the second time in six races this year that she was the team's top runner and enabled her to capture all-region acclaim for the second straight year. 

Emory's finish earned it an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships next weekend in Cleveland.
