McNeese Cross Country Looks for Success in Ruston

LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA (September 11, 2009) McNeese State cross country coach Brendon Gilroy looks for continued improvement from both his Cowboy and Cowgirl team on Saturday when they participate in the Louisiana Tech Mook Invitational in Ruston.

The meet will get underway at 9 a.m. and the men will run four miles and the women 4000 meters. Besides McNeese and host Louisiana Tech, other teams entered are Grambling, Southeastern Louisiana, Northwestern State, Centenary and Tulane.

“Very pleased,” was the way Gilroy summed up his team’s performance last week in its season opener.

The Cowboys and the Cowgirls hosted a cross country relay race comprised of two man teams. The Cowgirl duo of Amy Guinn and Alvy Carragher won the women’s race while the Cowboy twosome of Joshua Sawe and Johnathan Koenck finished second in the men’s relay.

These four athletes will be key performers for both teams in the Louisiana Tech meet.
