College enters Top Adventure College final round

Just five schools remain in the final round of the Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine Top Adventure College competition, and Lees-McRae is looking to once again take the top spot.

Lees-McRae is competing in the “small school” division along with University of North Carolina Asheville, Sweet Briar College, Maryville College, and Sewanee University.

The polls will close for the final round on Monday, March 30 at 10 a.m.

This year’s competition brought together 40 colleges from the southeast to compete in weekly rounds divided by large and small school categories—20 in each. Broken into four week-long rounds, schools were eliminated from the running each week based on the lowest scores.

In 2018, Lees-McRae took historic gold as the first small school to win the overall title and in 2019 the college once again landed at the top of the charts with a second place finish.
