Drury University men's cross country coach Jon Van Arkel has announced the addition of five runners to the Panthers' squad for the 2006-07 school year.
Joining the Drury cross country program will be Andrew Chase from University City (Mo.) High School; Brad Lyons from Springfield's Kickapoo High School; Kerryn Sarwansingh of Enid (Okla.) High School; Charles Yeager from Jasper (Ark.) High School; and Geoff Hughes from Raytown South (Mo.) High School.
"I believe it's a very talented group that will fit in quite well and push our returning group of runners," Van Arkel said.
Among the Missourians, Hughes finished fourth in the state Class 4 meet in Jefferson City last fall, completing the course in 16:16.29, while Lyons was 29th in 16:53.71. Chase finished 24th in the Class 3 meet in 17:10.90.
Yeager was the Arkansas state AA champion for a second straight year while leading his Jasper squad to a second consecutive team title last fall. Sarwansingh helped Enid to a fifth-place finish in the Oklahoma Class 5A championships while finishing 10th at state individually.
