Posted on Sunday, November 16, 2008
WACO, Texas — No. 12 Arkansas Razorback women’s cross country took the title win at the NCAA South Central Regional Championships, held at Cottonwood Creek Golf Course in Waco, Texas.
The Razorbacks took the team title with 51 points. Rice and Baylor tied for second with 61 points. Rice will receive the automatic bid after winning at head-to-head competition. Arkansas finished three runners in the top 10, five runners in the top 20 and all seven finishers in the top 42.
The Razorbacks now have 15 regional titles to their credit. Since the regional meets were first conducted in 1982, Arkansas has been among the top three teams every season and has been one of the two automatic bids to the NCAA Championships 22 times.
“ We had to be tactically smart this race and especially intelligent with our effort, ” head coach Lance Harter said of his team’s performance. “ The NCAA Championships are only eight days away and we didn’t want to give it all we had today and have nothing left for NCAAs. That’s where our focus is. ”
