(FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.) –
The 2013-14 season serves as the 50th for the USA South
Athletic Conference. In an effort to relive 50 Years of great
student-athlete performances, each current League institution was
given the opportunity to submit names of student-athletes who have
competed within the Conference, completed their athletic
eligibility and excelled not only on their campuses but in the
Conference as a whole.
The maximum amount of athletes an institution could submit for
each sport was twice the typical starting lineup of
that particular sport. Due to the short length of their
presence in the USA South or sport-sponsorship, some current USA
South institutions are not included in some of the sports.
The sport of men's cross country is as old as the USA South
itself as the Conference sponsored its
first championship in 1963. As for women's cross country,
the first Conference championship was awarded in 1994. The
team competition has been dominated by former member Christopher
Newport University as the Captains earned 27 men's crowns and 16
women's titles during their time in the League. The institution
producing the individual Conference meet champion, however, has
varied throughout the League. The Conference is annually
well-represented at both the NCAA Division III Regional and
National championships. The USA South can currently boast
having the two-time defending NCAA Division III South/Southeast
Region women's champion, Mary Baldwin's Sophia Stone.
