Lundin Signs with Point University to Run Cross Country

Brandon Lundin, a sophomore standout runner from South Georgia College, has signed a letter of intent to run cross country for the Point University Chargers this coming fall. "Brandon will be a tremendous asset to our campus on and off the cross country course," said head coach Michael Caldwell. "Brandon will provide immediate leadership and if he shows up in the condition I believe he will, he will have a strong junior campaign."

Coach Robert Preston at SGC was particularly pleased with Brandon signing with Point University as Brandon becomes the first SGC runner to sign with a four-year school. “Brandon impressed me from the first day I met him. He is a mature, responsible young man with natural leadership qualities. He was the only sophomore on our team this year and he was the runner others on our team looked up to. He was a tremendous asset to our program. We had a very successful season, and his leadership was one of the reasons why. He will make an immediate positive impact at Point University, both athletically and academically.”

Brandon, who attended Ridgeview High School in Orange Park, Fla., owns three of SGC’s 10 best eight-kilometer times: 29:18, 29:44 and 30:05. In October, he won the Racing for the Pinks 5K in Waycross with a personal best time of 17:26.
