Goodridge and Deacons Look for Continued ACC Success
Wake Forest has exhibited excellence in cross country in the ACC during John Goodridge's tenure as head coach. The program looks to have another strong season in 1997.
In the ACC Championships, Wake Forest has finished first or second every season since 1988.
Along the way John Goodridge coached teams claimed ACC titles in 1989, 1990, 1993, and 1994.
