Oct. 17, 2009
MEN'S RESULTS | WOMEN'S RESULTS FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The TCU women's cross country team finished 12th overall out of 34 teams on Saturday morning at the 21st running of the Chile Pepper Festival. Overall, the women's team totaled 388 points to finish ahead of LSU, McNeese State, Mississippi State, Utah, Wyoming and several others. On the men's side, the Frogs posted 709 points for a 26th-place showing on Saturday. "The girls did very well today. They had a good day overall and I am pleased with their effort," said distance coach Shawn Winget. "We had some improvement with our men, but we really missed Jeff Pels today. Both teams are moving in the right direction heading into the conference meet in a couple of weeks. We just need to get everybody back and continue to improve. Overall, a decent showing today on both sides in some muddy conditions." Freshman Agnes Kemboi had a solid day at the Arkansas Cross Country Course, clocking a personal and seasonal-best time of 22:21.55 to finish 48th overall. Kemboi's 6K time is currently the eighth-fastest time in the Mountain West Conference this fall. Fellow freshman Katie Dalton and sophomore Kelly Dawson followed in 76th and 77th-place, respectively. Tanja Ivandic, a junior from Fort Worth, crossed the finish line in 83rd-place out of 267 competitors on Saturday. Sophomore Louis Tijerina who placed 134th in the men's 10K out of 243 runners on Saturday led the men's team. Freshman Dave Emerson followed in 166th-place in Fayetteville. Festus Kigen, who is redshirting this fall and ran unattached on Saturday, placed ninth overall with a time of 29:55.76.
The Frogs will next be in action at the 2009 Mountain West Conference Championships in Orem, Utah on Oct. 31.
