Meredith College was tabbed fourth in the recently released USA South Women's Cross Country Preseason Coaches Poll. Under the third-year direction of Head Coach Leslie Payne, the Avenging Angels returned this fall with top runners Macy Brinson, Caroline Diorio, and Megan Evans leading the team and will attempt to shake up league expectations. Meredith placed second in last year's championship meet behind this year's top pick and defending champion Piedmont Lions.
