This one has their years on it, they are all freshmen. Could the school have decided to field a team after the school year had already started and the coach was forced to pick anyone at all he could get to come out? It gets stranger and stranger.

I'm wondering what the hell is going on now. Is the coaching abysmal? Does their training consist of jumping jacks and suicide sprints?
Anyways, Paul Quinn is a HBCU with a student body of around 450.

Whatever the case may be, I'm tired of looking through google hoping these guys had one good race and I commend them for actually sponsoring both track and xc despite their size.
