Jefferson City, Tenn. – Two Carson-Newman Lady Eagle runners have made the SAC's preseason all-conference teams.
Hannah Reese (Brandon, Miss.) takes home first team honors, while Meredith Nix (Walhalla, S.C.) earned a spot on the second team.
Reese was the only C-N runner named to last year's All-SAC team. She finished seventh at the SAC Championships in Morristown, Tenn. with a time of 20:34.5. Reese was the top finisher at the Maryville Invitational and finished in the top three at the Citadel Invite.
Meanwhile, Nix garnered two-top ten finishes and four top 20s in 2011. Notably, Nix and Reese helped the Eagles finish fourth in the SAC Championships. They also helped C-N win one meet and finish as runners-up in two others.
The Carson-Newman women were picked to finish fourth in the SAC preseason poll.
