BOLIVAR, Mo. -- SBU track and cross country head coach Corey McElhaney has announced the signings of 25 new players who will join the Bearcats for the 2010-11 school year.

“This was a very successful recruiting year for us," said McElhaney. "We have 25 coming in and more to be announced later. This is the largest class ever brought in to SBU for the track and cross country team. I am not only impressed by the numbers but we also have several who qualified for their state meets and even a handful of All-State performers. I am excited to see these young men and women develop here at SBU.”
