Cross Country travels to McNeese Cowboys Stampede
BATON ROUGE – After
placing in the top two of their first couple of competitions this
season, including a win for the women in the LSU Invitational a week
ago, the LSU men’s and women’s cross country teams travel to Lake
Charles, La., for the McNeese Cowboys Stampede at the Enos Derbonne
Sports Complex on Saturday.
Five Lady Tigers finished inside the top 10 at LSU’s only home meet of the season last week en route to the team victory.
They
were led by junior Leigh-Ann Naccari’s third-place finish of 22
minutes, 53 seconds over 6,000 meters. It was Naccari’s second straight
top-10 performance. Junior Charlene Lipsey finished next for LSU just
behind Naccari in fourth place, stopping the clock at 22:05.9.
Brea
Goodman ran a time of 22:29.7 to finish sixth, Andria Aguilar finished
in 23:32.0 to come in seventh and Dakota Goodman was ninth across the
line in 23:34.7.
The men placed second last week for the second time this season with three Tigers finishing in the top ten.
Senior
Richard Chautin led the way with a time of 27.29.1 covering 8k. Senior
Cullen Doody finished ninth with a time of 27:52.4 after winning the
Bulldog Invitational at Mississippi State the week before. Junior Roger
Cook rounded out the top 10 coming across the line in 28:03.7.
“This
race is another step in getting into the best shape we can for the
conference meet, which is a big goal,” LSU head coach Mark Elliott
said. “The distances on this course are shorter than what we have run
the past two weeks so that should be an advantage. “
