GREENVILLE, N.C. – The Temple cross country teams begin their postseason tomorrow with the American Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships. The meet will be hosted at East Carolina University. The Owls ran on the course two weeks ago at the Pirate Invitational, with the men taking first place. The men will race at 9:15, with the women following at 10.
Previewing the Owls
> The men's cross country team claimed its first victory of the season two weeks at the Pirate Invitational. Liem Chot stole the show, placing in 4th, one of the highest finishes of his career.
> The women finished in 5th out of 10 teams. Elsa Chan impressed, coming in 6th. She has led the Cherry & White in each meet this season.
The Field
> All 14 teams in the conference will be running in the meet.
> The AAC features six new programs this season, Charlotte, FAU, North Texas, Rice, UAB, and UTSA.
Quotable: Assistant Coach Charlotte Imer
"Our teams have tremendous momentum leading into the AAC Cross Country Championships tomorrow! The men are coming off a spectacular win at the Pirate Invitational hosted on the same course 2 weeks ago, while the women are coming off a strong performance led by sophomore stand-out Elsa Chan. The foundation has been laid, now the athletes just have to show up, bring their best effort and mindset. If they're able to do this, we're going to be ready to make a statement and do something very special tomorrow."
