September 12, 2005 Women’s Cross Country Travels To Panther Open The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville women’s cross country team will compete in the Panther Open this weekend. The Cougars finished third with 118 points at the Bradley Invitational over this past weekend. “The women’s third place finish was a pleasant surprise because they are so young and top runner Kelly Flounders (Homer Glen) sat out due to injury,” said SIUE cross country coach Eileen McAllister. Freshman Michelle Meador (Bower) placed 14th with a time of 20:08. Elizabeth Williams (Mt. Vernon) finished 17th with a mark of 20:19. Freshman Alicia Riggs (Hanover Park) was 26 seconds behind Williams in 21st place at 20:45. “Meador, Williams, and Riggs all competed really hard,” said McAllister. “All the women have shown tremendous effort in practices. They will continue to get stronger and more experienced through out the season.” The meet at Eastern Illinois begins at 9:45 a.m. on Saturday. -siue cougars- |
