SUWANEE, Ga. - Only seven programs in the 49-year history of the CAC/SCAC have put together 10+ year win streaks of consecutive championships in any particular sport.

On October 30, 1999, running on the campus of Hendrix College, the Rhodes College men captured their 10th consecutive conference title at the SCAC Cross Country championships, and that achievement is being recognized as the Top Moment in the history of SCAC men's cross country. Top 20 Moments homepage

In the third-closest finish in the history of the event, the Lynx edged Trinity University by nine points and DePauw University by 11 as head coach Robert Shankman earned his ninth straight SCAC Men's Cross Country Coach-of-the-Year honor in post-race voting.

The 1999 men's team title, which is the last won by the Rhodes men, capped an incredible three years of tight finishes on the men's side. Rhodes defeated Trinity by seven points in 1997 - the closest men's finish in league history - and bested DePauw by eight points in 1998. The 1998 race is the only time that the top two teams have posted sub 50 point scores (39 to 47).

Russell Kramer, the SCAC Director of Communications/New Media, had a chance to catch up with Rhodes College head coach Robert Shankman to reflect on those 10 consecutive conference titles - that culminated with the 1999 team's victory at Hendrix.
