Louisville, Ky.- Running in the gold division, the Western Carolina Catamount women's cross country team finished 18th out of 32 teams while the men were 26th out of 33 at the Greater Louisville Cross Country Classic Saturday morning.

Senior Megan Isaacs led the women's team with a 43rd place finish out of 265 runners with a time of 18:30.28. Senior Skye Aiello finished 92nd while sophomore Jordan Gaddy finished right after her in 93rd.

"The women's team knew they were running a man down with Lindsay Groce out with an injury, but they came out very competitive this weekend," said Head Coach Danny Williamson. "We had four of our seven women runners run or tied a lifetime best time."

Junior Stephen Hammond paced the men's team with a 61st place finish out of 294 runners with a time of 25:16.36 while sophomore Stephon Roach finished in 141. Unfortunately for the Catamounts, freshman Josey Weaver had lost his shoe while running the meet and had to complete four and a half miles with one shoe placing him in 206.

"I think it was a good weekend for us, if Weaver wouldn't have lost his shoe I think we would have been up higher in the standings," Williamson said. "Five of the seven men ran lifetime bests this weekend."


 

 

Southern Illinois won the gold division with 77 points for the men's race placing five runners in the top 25. The University of Texas won the gold division with 79 points for the women's race placing four runners in the top 25 including two in the top 10.
