By Zachary Horner

Cross country is one a rare collegiate sport, along with golf and wrestling, because it is both individual and team-based. Couple that with having both men’s and women’s sides, and cross country turns out to be what Elon University men’s cross country redshirt sophomore Sean Magee calls “weird.” “Your race is really individual, you don’t have to pest anybody or do anything like that,” he said.
