Women's Cross Country Heads to Tulsa for AAC Championship Meet
10.27.22 | Women's Cross Country
TULSA, Okla.- The Temple women's cross country team, will look to start the postseason off with a bang Friday at the American Athletic Championship Conference meet in Tulsa. The Owls have not finished outside of the top half of the conference since 2016.
Previewing the Owls
> The Cherry and White battled through being down two of their top five runners in the Penn State National Open last meet.
> Laura Nicholson (28) and Elvira Bredin (49) both earned top 50 finishes. Molly Demarzo also set a new personal best for a 6km course.
The Field
> Temple will be one of 11 schools competing in the AAC title meet. The Owls are joined by Cincinnati, East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, UCF, USF, and Wichita State.
> Tulsa has won the conference in three straight seasons.
> Live results from the meet can be found here. Â The match will be streamed on ESPN+.
Quotable: Assistant Coach Charlotte Imer
"The women are looking strong and are ready to bring their best effort at the AAC Cross Country Championship tomorrow. Last year the women's team placed third at AACs. The goal at the start of the season was to be top 3 if not better, however with some challenges we've encountered over the last month we're looking to place top 5. Despite changing circumstances, I'm really excited for this group to race and put their fitness to the test. Our front runners are poised for a great run, and the group overall will be fighting for every spot across the finish line tomorrow!"
