Three former

state champions in cross-country and track, two of whom are former Landmark

Christian War Eagles, are making their marks on the collegiate athletic

scene.

Peachtree City

resident Nathan Kosiba and Matt Day, both graduates of Landmark Christian

School, and Kyle McPhee, a graduate of Greater Atlanta Christian School,

recently ran at Berry University's Southeastern Classic Cross Country

8K meet. The young men all run for Belmont University.

Belmont placed

first in the meet with McPhee, a unior, placing second overall with a

time of 25:29. Day, a Class A state champ in cross-country for three years

in a row, placed third overall in a time of 25:32, while Kosiba placed

sixth with a time of 25:55. Kosiba was the 3,200-meter state champ in

1999 and 2000. He also set the indoor Georgia High School Dome record

in the 3,000 last February and ran the fastest outdoor 3,200-meter race

with a time of 9:15.

Belmont University

will compete this weekend at the NCAA South Regional Meet at the University

of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
