Mary Washington sophomore Teagan Young and Christopher Newport head coach Matthew Barreau were named USTFCCCA South/Southeast Region Women's Athlete and Coach of the Year, respectively, announced Wednesday. 

Young won Saturday's regional meet by eight seconds over Bridgewater's Kaylee Kubisiak, marking her second straight win after taking the CAC title. She is the first runner in CAC history to claim a regional title. She will compete at the NCAA National Championships this Saturday in Mason, Ohio, along with teammate Lauren Braney and York's Jess Miller. 

Led by Barreau, now in his fourth year at the helm of the Captain's program, the Christopher Newport women's cross country team is making its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Championships after placing second in a drama-filled regional. Barreau's squad was initially out of automatic qualification as a tiebreaker placed the team in third place to Centre. After video review, it was a determined that the finish order of a CNU runner was flipped, resulting in a point-bump to the team score and an official second-place finish. The team improved from its eighth-place region showing a year ago.
