Cougars Prepare for Regionals
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville men's cross country team will participate in the NCAA Regional meet Saturday. The meet will be held on the campus of Grand Valley State University.
The top two team finishers move on to the NCAA Championship. The top two individual finishers not on a qualifying team will also participate in the NCAA Championship.
Grand Valley State University, a perennial national contender, should finish near the top, according to SIUE Coach Darryl Frerker.
"There are a number of team's in our region that are running real strong right now," said Frerker. "I'll be happy if we can beat the other GLVC teams that will be there."
The Cougars are coming off a second-place finish in the GLVC Championships two weeks ago. Ryan Boyll (Normal), Brian Taghon (East Moline) and Jason Olszowka (Lockport) all finished in the top 10, earning All-Conference honors.
