	49ers run into big-time meet By Andres Cardenas Daily Forty-Niner The Long Beach State Cross Country teams head to Palo Alto this weekend for one the season's biggest meets, the Stanford Invitational. 49er cross country Head Coach Andy Sythe said the Stanford Invitational is "the most important race until the conference championship." CROSS COUNTRY What makes this meet so important is that there will be seven top 20 schools competing in the womenís event and three top 20 schools in the men's. The key to this race, according to Sythe, is a good start. "In a race like this, the object is to get out fast and just maintain position," Sythe said. "You hope to pass more people for the best possible positioning." Injuries on the 49ers for the cross country team are still nagging.  Larry Henderson has a slight strain in his ribs. Johann Appell has a calf strain.  However, both should be fine for Stanford, Sythe said. As for the women, the stress fracture in the foot of Bree Frigo has improved according to Sythe. Frigo has been cross training on the exercise bike and been in the pool. She will be making a test run soon and will be traveling to Stanford. The 49ers outlook for the Stanford Invitational depends on the health of the team proclaimed Sythe. What Sythe said he does know is that the team is gaining more confidence.
