Mobile, Ala-- The University of Mobile has announced it's first signing for the recently reinstated men's cross country program.

The Rams got Trinity Presbyterian School senior Chris Rhodes to sign on the dotted line, as the first member of the "new" program.

Mobile's men's and women's cross country programs were previously cut after the 2003-04 season, following 14 years of very successful competition at the school, beginning in 1990-91. Interestingly enough, both squads made it to the National Tournament in that first year of competition.

The men’s cross country program brought home 8 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championships and qualified for the NAIA National Tournament 10 of the 14 years.
