BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Texas A&M cross country team heads to Lehigh University for the Paul Short Run Friday held at the Goodman Campus Cross Country Course with the men's race starting at 10 a.m. and the women's race at 10:45 a.m.
"We are excited to be back racing after a couple weekends off," distance coach Wendel McRaven said. "We get a chance to race on an historic course in a historic meet with a lot of teams we don't see on a regular basis."
The Aggies gear up for their third meet of the season, as they look to protect their undefeated record following a second weekend sweep at the Texas A&M Invitational. The men's team was headlined by Cooper Cawthra who secured the individual title around the men's 8k course, while Sophia Bendet was the top-finishing member of the Maroon & White for the women placing third.
"Training has gone great over the past couple weeks so it's great for our crew to get a chance to lace up the spikes and put on the uniform and compete," McRaven added. "It's great to go to a meet like Paul Short where we will see big fields and a lot of teams from different parts of the country. It's still early, but you want to see where you stack up with some of the teams that you don't see on a regular basis. We will be racing a handful of nationally ranked teams and most of the top teams in the NCAA's Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region. This is the kind of meet, along with our own Barrios meet, that really helps get us ready for the kind of competition we will see in the post season."
The Maroon & White will be competing against 50 teams, including Army West Point, Boston U, Bowling Green, Brown, Bryant, Buffalo, Canisius, Central Michigan, Colgate, Cornell, Dartmouth, Delaware, Elon, Fairfield, Fordham, George Mason, Georgetown, Harvard, High Point, Howard, Johns Hopkins, La Salle, Lehigh, Longwood, Maryland, Monmouth, NJIT, Navy, Penn, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Quinnipiac, RPI, Rhode Island, Rio Grande, Rutgers, Suny Geneseo, Shippensburg, Siena, St. Joseph's (Pa.), Stony Brook, Syracuse, Temple, UMBC, UMass Amherst, UMass Lowell, Utah State, Villanova, Wingate and Yale.
