COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Rebecca Cline was named Most Valuable on
the women’s team and John Greene captured the same honor for
the men’s team when Tennessee Tech cross country coach Tony
Cox announced the team awards for the 2013 season.
In addition to the MVP awards, Cox presented several other awards
to his runners at the team’s annual Awards Dinner held
recently. The honors went to six different people, while Greene and
Peri Winborne were announced as team captains.
“Rebecca led our team in every meet this year and
she’s been a valuable member of the team for the last four
years,” Cox said about Cline’s MVP selection.
“She led by example in daily practices and at the meets, and
is highly deserving of this award.”
Meaghan O’Donoghue, a senior from Talbott, Tenn., won the
Most Dedicated Runner award, while Yeshi Dohrmann accepted the Most
Improved Runner award. She is a senior from Tullahoma, Tenn. The
Impact Award, which goes to a first-year runner with the greatest
impact on the team, went to Claire Cashin, a freshman from
Snellville, Ga..
Winborne, a senior from Knoxville, Tenn., served as the team
captain for the 2013 campaign.
Greene, a fifth-year senior from Friendsville, Tenn., claimed the
MVP honor for the men’s squad in addition to his captain
role.
“John has been a team leader for the past couple of
years,” Cox said. “He’s a vocal leader and very
respected by the other guys on the team. He overcame injury that
kept him out all of last year, and he was still around the team a
lot during that time providing leadership, even when he was having
to sit out.”
The Most Dedicated Runner award went to Matt Bishop, a senior from
Morristown, Tenn. Daniel Williamson, a freshman from Union City,
Tenn., won the Most Improved Runner award, while the Impact Award
went to freshman Eric Roth from Gray, Tenn.
