The Long Beach State cross country teams
headed into the Triton Invitational with their sights set on the Big West
Conference Meet which is less than two weeks away.
Johann Appell led the 49ers men's team
finishing in 11th place with a time of 25 minutes and 54 seconds. Dave
Davis of the University of Pudget Sound finished with a time of 25 minutes
and 11 seconds.
UC Irvine won the men's team event with
a team score of 89. LBSU men's team finished in eighth with 187 points.
"I feel real good about (the men's team),"
49er Head Coach Andy Sythe said. He said his runners should be over other
their illnesses and there are no longer any real injuries on the men's
side.
The women's team participated without four
of their top five runners, citing reasons of family emergencies or rest
for being excused from the meet.
Monica McManus lead the 49ers with a time
of 18 minutes and 39 seconds and finished in twelfth place. |
