The SIUE Cross Country team will be heading to North Dakota this weekend for the Ron Pynn Invitational. This is the first time the team has traveled by air for a regular season competition. The Competition starts at 9.
On Friday the cross country teams competed in a time trial in front of the rest of the track and field team. The runners showed what they were made of. Coach Mcallister felt that the support of the rest of the team made a big difference in performances. There has not been performances of this caliber since the transition began in 2006.

After Friday's time trial the team headed to downtown Edwardsville for the welcome back SIUE Block Party. The athletes played various games put on by local vendors and got to know there teammates better. It is always good to get out in the community in support of SIUE and the Athletic Department.
On Monday the SIUE Athletic Department’s Welcome back picnic took place. Student-Athletes for the Track/XC teams and all the other sports competed in various events such as: best legs, best Biceps and a talent contest. Our own Aftan Noon took the trophy for the best biceps and Campbell Walters won the talent portion playing a lovely rendition of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” with his Violin or as Coach Jackson called it his “Fiddle”.
