Kansas cross country went to Stillwater, Okla., this weekend wondering how it stacked up against some of the greatest running programs in the country.
Kansas answered those questions Saturday at the Oklahoma State University Jamboree. The men finished fifth out of 21 teams, and the women took
Redwine
third out of 18 teams
"Things are really going in the right direction for us," coach Stanley Redwine said. "Our front runners are doing what's expected of them, and we hope to see this continual success in the weeks to come."
The women remained undefeated against Big 12 teams, beating Oklahoma. Oklahoma State
and Texas Tech.
The women put together a strong middle pack to edge past fourth place Air Force by three points.
"We're working on bringing our middle pack up," junior Laura Lavoie said. "We all work together to try to move up."
Lavoié finished third in the race but scored second because winner Kathy Newberry ran unattached, which means she was not with a team and did not receive points.
Junior Paige Higgins, freshman Jenna Bimbi and junior Laura Brownrigg also scored for Kansas.
The men fell to 28th-ranked Oklahoma State but beat Big 12 schools Oklahoma and Texas Tech.
Sophomore Chris Jones led Kansas across the finish line in 12th place, beating 17th place senior Mark Menefee by 8 seconds. Freshman Cameron Schwehr, junior Brian Raggett and junior Dan Ferguson
"Our front runners are doing what's expected of them, and we hope to see this continual success in the weeks to come."
Stanley Redwine Kansas crosscountry coach
rounded out the top five for Kansas.
"We would have liked to close up the gap between our third and fourth runner, but we didn't have some guys because of injuries," Jones said. "Every meet we have left is important. We need to make a statement."
The Kansas men were without junior Steve Vockrodt, Kansan sportwriter, and junior Abraham Kimeli because of injuries. Both runners should figure into the teams scoring strategy when they return.
