October 2, 2000 Cross Country Looks For Personal Bests Coach Darryl Frerker looks for personal records to be the goal for this weekend meet in St. Louis, Mo. “For as young as we are, I think a personal record from everyone of them would be a success, especially since we ran that course earlier this season.” The Cougars compete in the Washington University Invitational on Saturday morning. The women’s 5,000-meter run begins at 10 a.m. followed by the men’s 8,000-meter run at 10:35 a.m. Last weekend, the women’s team finished first. Jill Irlam (Virden) and Stephanie Mullen (Girard) looked strong last weekend, said Frerker. “Irlam was looking for a big personal record last weekend and did just that,” Frerker said. Irlam finished with a time of 21 minutes, 24 seconds while Mullen recorded a time of 21:08. Carrie Carducci (Powell, Ohio) was the top runner in for the Cougars. Carducci placed third with a time of 19:31. The men finished in third place behind Robert Old (Hendersonville, Tenn.). “Robbie came in first for us and had a breakthrough race along with Darren Dinkelman (Nashville).” Old finished the race with a time of 28:01 while Dinkelman came in fourth for SIUE at a time of 28:40. “Almost everyone had a personal record on our course last weekend which was good to see coming off an intense week of practice.” |
