NCCU CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS WIN FOURTH MEET IN SIX WEEKS
 For the fourth time in the past six weeks, the North Carolina Central University men's and women's cross country teams have won their respective events. On Saturday (Oct. 13), NCCU swept the competition in the annual NCCU Eagle Classic at Forest Hills Park in Durham, N.C.  The NCCU women cruised to victory with only 16 team points, followed by second place North Carolina A&T State University (57 points), and third place Livingstone College (81 points). The Lady Eagles placed five of the top six finishers, including the first four runners to cross the finish line. NCCU's Desinia Johnson won the women's 5k event with a time of 20:24.22, while teammates Ashley Cooke placed second (20:27.50), Aisha Brown third (20:37.27), and Latanya Lesine fourth (20:37.56).

THE CIAA WEST COULD BE WON THIS WEEK! Since the resurrection of the Championship Game and 
Divisional play in 2000, Shaw is in position to clinch a divisional title earlier than any other divisional winner. In the East, things are much murkier. Elizabeth City State controls its own destiny but still has a tough road ahead. Virginia Union is still in prime position to grab a playoff spot but must win out and hope the Vikings lose to claim a spot in the Championship Game.
