LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Former Centre Colonel Eileen Schilling was named to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference's 30th Anniversary women's cross country team, the league announced today.

One of only three women in SCAC history with multiple All-America cross-country honors, Centre's Schilling was a four-time All-SCAC performer from 2003-2006. She posted three top-five finishes at the conference championships, highlighted by her second-place finish as a sophomore in 2004.

The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference will be announcing 30th Anniversary teams in 21 sports throughout the 2020-21 academic year.

The SCAC's 30th Anniversary teams were selected through balloting by present coaches in each sport as well as administrators.

The CAC dates to 1962 with four charter members: Centre College, Southwestern @ Memphis (now Rhodes College), Sewanee-The University of the South, and Washington & Lee (Va.) University. Washington (Mo.) University joined the CAC later that same year.
