AIKEN, S.C. – First-year head coach Kara Kreutzer released the 2011 University of South Carolina Aiken cross country schedule on Thursday, May 26, 2011.

The 2011 USC Aiken schedule features seven meets in total. The Pacers will play host to two meets at their top-of-the-line home course Pacer Path, including the 2011 Peach Belt Conference Championship on Saturday, Oct. 22.

“I'm excited about seeing our returning runners in action this fall, as well as seeing the potential of our new runners,” noted Kreutzer. “I'm also looking forward to hosting the pre-conference and conference meets on our home course. We're ready to work hard and face each challenge together this season!”

USC Aiken will commence its 2011 season on Friday, Sept. 2 at the 5K Gamecock Invitational at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C. The meet is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The Pacers concluded the 2010 Gamecock Invitational second among all Division II teams.
