September 25, 2000 Cross Country Set for Cougar/Bearcat Challenge Coach Darryl Frerker is looking for this weekend's meet as a warm-up to the conference championships next weekend. SIUE and McKendree College host the Cougar Bearcat Challenge at SIUE. The women's 5,000-meter run begins at 10 a.m. with the men's 8,000-meter run following at 10:45 a.m. "Both teams have a good shot at being top teams in this meet. We will get to see some new competition with NAIA teams coming in. But it also is an opportunity to warm-up for conference." Carrie Carducci (Powell, Ohio) and Jason Olsowka (Lockport) both finished first for the Cougars last time out at the Illinois Invitational. Carducci finished 23rd with a time of 18 minutes, 54 seconds. Olsowka finished 15th with a personal best on the year with a time of 25:52. Freshmen have been filling in the top five for both teams throughout the year. "The position in the top five is always changing. We have yet to develop a consistent top five." |
