HOUSTON - The Rice men's cross country team will look to capture a conference title this Saturday when they race at the Conference USA Championship, hosted by Charlotte at Frank Liske Park in North Carolina.
The Owls last competed back on Oct. 15 when they competed at the prestigious Pre-Nationals meet, hosted by Florida State. Saturday's race, which will begin at 8 a.m. (CT), will be the Owls fourth of the season and a prelude to the NCAA South Central Regional which will be hosted by Baylor in Waco, Texas on Nov. 12.
Rice placed third at last year's C-USA Championships and have finished in the top three of the standings in 12 of the last 16 seasons and will be vying for their first C-USA team title.
The Owls currently rank No. 6 in the most recent USTFCCCA South Central Regional rankings. Other C-USA teams ranked in the top 15 in their respective regions includes North Texas (No. 3-South Central Region), Charlotte (No. 6-Southeast Region), Middle Tennessee (No. 6-South Region) and UTEP (No. 11-Mountain Region).
Rice returns three all-conference performers from last year's championships race, led by senior Hociel Landa along with Ace Castillo and Andrew Abikhaled.
