Women's Cross Country Returns to Competition at the Ted Owen Invitational on Saturday
9.24.14 | Women's Cross Country
PHILADELPHIA - The women's cross country team will be back in action this Saturday, Sept. 27 at the Ted Owen Invitational hosted by Central Connecticut State University after two weeks of training without competition.
The diversity of races has been improved on for both teams by coach James Snyder this season. Many invitationals are made up of 25 or more cross country teams and Snyder felt that adding a race that is similar to the Owl's upcoming conference meet, with a smaller pool of schools, was very important.
"I wanted to compete in this race to give our kids a taste of what our conference meet is going to feel like," said Snyder. "The field size in our conference for the women is 12 teams so this meet will give our women a chance to run in a race indicative to what we're going to be up against on Oct. 31."
The Owls were last in action at the Big 5 Invitational on Sept. 12 at Belmont Plateau. The top finisher for Temple was senior Jenna Dubrow who finished 10th out of 54 competitors in a time of 14:43.7. Freshman Catherine Pinson had another strong showing for the Owls, finishing 20th in a time of 15:06.7.
"I expect Jenna and Catherine to be in the mix at the front of the race this Saturday, similar to what we are going to expect out of them at the conference meet," said Snyder. "I am really looking forward to competing this weekend in a new area against some of the best teams in the northeast."
The women will begin their 5K race at 11:00 a.m. Saturday morning at Stanley Quarter Park.
