BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Union College once again ranks second in the Southeastern Collegiate Cycling Conference Division II standings going into a weekend of racing in the mountains of North Carolina.

Union has collected 312 points so far this season which trails Warren Wilson (N.C.) College's 468 points. Warren Wilson has competed in all four weekends of action with Union only attending the last three weekends of racing. Union has a 28-point cushion over Brevard (N.C.) College. East Tennessee State University and the University of North Carolina Asheville are fourth and fifth, respectively.

Zach Winn (Port Hope, Canada) slipped and now trails Warren Wilson's Linden Blaisus by six points, 492-486. Winn was two points behind before Lees McRae (N.C.) College's event.

The trio of Wes Lamberson (Limestone, Tenn.), Brad Nelson (Carmel, Ind.) and Greg Gibson (Provo, Utah) rank fifth to seventh, respectively. Lamberson made the move from eighth up to fifth.

On the women's side, Rachel Millsop (Springdale, Ark.) improved to third with 551 points and only trails two riders from Warren Wilson. Rebecca Parish has the top spot thanks to 679 points so far in 2009.

Union will battle within the SECCC once again this weekend at Lees-McRae College. Action is scheduled to get underway Saturday. The event will be a joint conference weekend with Appalachian State (N.C.) University hosting the Atlantic Coast Cycling Conference teams.
