LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The SIUE men's cross country team had all but one runner set a personal best during a 4th-place finish of 33 competing teams in the blue division at the 10th Annual Greater Louisville Classic Saturday morning at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park.
"With so many PR's this was a step forward and you can't ask for more than that," said SIUE Head Coach Eileen McAllister. "It was definitely another step in the right direction."
The Cougars were led by senior Marc Amarillas on a beautiful day for running according to Coach McAllister. The Quincy native finished the 8,000-meter race in 25 minutes, 43.97 seconds placing 29th overall out of 285 total runners.
Junior Aaron Werths beat his previous best by more than 14 seconds as he placed 41st overall with a time of 25:54.37.
Right on his heels was Shawn Dillard. The Cougar senior's time of 25:55.80 was 20 seconds faster than his previous best in an 8k race and placed him 44th overall.
"The guys were excited after running such a strong meet," said McAllister.
Sophomore Campbell Walters (26:03.03) and freshman Nick Moore (26:14.09) also set personal bests during the prestigious meet placing 56th and 71st, respectively.
Even though sophomore J.D. Wynn did not run a personal best, he still finished with his second-fastest time in an 8k at 27:31.19.
SIUE was barely edged out by fellow Ohio Valley Conference member SEMO, who placed third, while it finished ahead of the OVC's UT Martin (20th), Morehead State (21st), and Austin Peay (26th).
"Today was good exposure of running in a big meet as we get ready to head to Bradley in a couple weeks," added McAllister.
The Cougars will next race in Peoria at the Bradley Classic October 14.

Oct. 1, 2011 Complete Results LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The SIUE women's cross country team finished in 17th place out of 32 competing schools in the blue division Saturday morning at the 10th Annual Greater Louisville Classic at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park. "The women had positive things happen but we are still not where we need to be as a team," said SIUE Head CoachEileen McAllister. "It was good to see everyone right around their season-best times." One of the positive areas mentioned by Coach McAllister is the fact that three runners had personal bests and two others ran season-best times. Aftan Noon led the charge for the Cougars placing 51st out of 257 total runners. The senior ran the 5,000-meter course in a season best 19 minutes, 8.67 seconds. Not far behind Noon was Dede Lofton who finished 55th overall. The Detroit, Mich., native ran a 28-second personal best with a time of 19:11.32. "Dede continues to run really well for us," added McAllister of her sophomore runner. Sophomore Claire Brown ran seven seconds faster than her previous best finishing 93rd with a time of 19:33.45. Ioana Citireag turned in a time of 19:46.78, which was 12 seconds faster than her best this season in a 5k to place 117th overall. SIUE's sophomore Hannah Lee (20:24.87) and freshman Ellen Goins (20:27.93) finished 170th and 175th, respectively and each narrowly missed setting a new personal record. "Any time you have multiple PR's is a sign of improvement," said McAllister. "We are well ahead of where we were at this point last year despite being fatigued." Freshman Katie Trettenero also set a PR finishing the 5k in 20:47.45 in 187th place. "Today was good exposure of running in a big meet as we get ready to head to Bradley in a couple of weeks," added McAllister. The next race for the Cougars is in Peoria at the Bradley Classic October 14. -siue cougars- |
