Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
First-year Teresa Cashen of Dallas ran a 27:37 on a sloppy and difficult cross country course at the Texas Tech Open. With the majority of the field being NCAA Division 1, NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NJCAA Division 1, Cashen held her own ground and ran an amazing race - the first 6k of her career. Senior Rachel Chiella of Southwestern was the team's top finisher at the SU Showdown which featured tough D3 competition from around the state of Texas. Chiella placed 10th with a time of 25:48 in the 6k event, moving up the entire race and securing her top 10 status with a strong kick in the last 100m.
