August 30, 2004 McAllister Gives Cross Country A Fresh Start New SIUE cross country coach Ellen McAllister looks to give new life into the program after the departure of Darryl Frerker. On the men’s side McAllister has only two seniors Ryan Boyll (Normal), who finished 12th in the Great Lakes Valley Conference last season and Jonathan Sadowski (Springfield). Juniors will look to make good contributions including Brian Taghon (East Moline), finished fourth in the GLVC a season ago, Trae Cotner (Springfield), Justin Crain (McLeansboro), and Josh Helton (Robinson) will all make contributions. Sophomores Joshua Bozue (Fairborne, Ohio) and Cody Ellermeyer (DuQuoin), and freshmen Erik Steffens (Moline), Brian Getz (East Moline), and Bart Smith (Benton) will all add to a team that will have plenty of depth. On the women’s side, seniors Mary Witte (Normal), who finished sixth in GLVC looks to lead the team, and Lee Ann Lomax (Georgetown) will be the team’s strengths. Juniors Amanda White (O'Fallon) and Heather Zipparro (Mount Prospect), and sophomores Natalie Aschim (Rockford), Betsy Hall (Charleston), and Priscilla Rahn (East Alton) add experience to a solid Cougar team. Newcomers Kelly Flounders (Homer Glen), Julie Minton (Centralia), and Rebecca Peach (East Alton) build on an already strong club. SIUE’s cross country team will start it season on September 4 with the Cougar/Bearcat Classic at the SIUE Cross Country Course. -siue cougars- |
