On Monday, Sept. 23, the Phoenix added two meets to the schedule and cut one. The two additions will be run over the weekend of October 4-5.
The first meet will be on Friday, Oct. 4 when the Phoenix travel to Boone, N.C. for the Mountaineer Open. The event is hosted by Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State. Only a select group of runners, who have yet to be determined, will run in the meet.
The Mountaineer Open is the first of two meets in Boone this season. Elon will return on Oct. 18 for the Blue Ridge Open.
