STILLWATER, Okla. - In a field that featured several nationally ranked programs, the TCU men's and women's cross country teams finished 23rd and 15th overall, respectively, on Saturday morning at the 73rd running of the Cowboy Jamboree."We struggled a little bit today with a very tough course," said distance coach Shawn Winget. "I thought we had some bright spots, but we need to do a better job of being mentally prepared. We have a lot of work to do before we head to Fayetteville in a couple of weeks."
Freshman Agnes Kemboi led the TCU women in the 5K race, crossing the finish line in 42nd-place in her first collegiate outing, while fellow freshman Katie Dalton followed in 99th out of 211 competitors at the OSU Cross Country Course on Saturday. Tanja Ivandic and Kelly Dawson closed out the competition in 113th and 120th overall, respectively.
On the men's side, Louis Tijerina, a Brownsville native, finished 140th overall out of 245 competitors with a personal-best time. Junior Jeff Pels followed in 154th-place on Saturday morning.
Northern Arizona captured the men's team-title, while Texas Tech captured the women's title on Saturday morning.
The Horned Frogs will have a week off before traveling to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Chili Pepper Festival on Oct. 17.
