The No. 11 University of Southern Indiana women’s cross country team looks to continue its improvement it showed two weeks ago when it toes the line at the University of Evansville Invitational at Angel Mounds Saturday at 11 a.m.
USI finished 20th out of 30 teams in the Gold Race of the Greater Louisville Classic two weeks ago. The Screaming Eagles defeated a pair of nationally-ranked Division II teams, including Great Lakes Valley Conference rival Bellarmine University.
Sophomore Emily Roberts (Fredericktown, Ohio) led the Eagles at the Greater Louisville Classic, finishing 40th out of 260 runners. Roberts, who was named the GLVC Runner of the Week for her efforts, was fourth amongst a Division II field that featured competitors from No. 1 Hillsdale College and No. 3 Grand Valley State University.
Saturday’s meet is the final tune-up before the Eagles compete at the GLVC Championships October 24 in Somers, Wisconsin. It also is the Eagles’ last chance to compete at Angel Mounds prior to the NCAA II Midwest Region Championships November 7.
