HOUSTON – The Rice men's cross country team is looking for a top finish this weekend, when they race at the Conference USA Championships at 10 a.m. Saturday in Denton, Texas.
The Owls will be looking to better last year's fourth-place finish in the C-USA Championships and reach their 13th podium in 18 seasons of Conference USA competition.
The Owls currently sit outside the top 15 in the most recent USTFCCCA South Central Region rankings, while being placed 7th last week. C-USA rivals ranked in the top 15 in their regions include Charlotte (No.5 - Southeast), UTEP (No.15 - Mountain), and Middle Tennessee (No.6 - South).
Coach Jon Warren is expecting a strong Charlotte team, while still believing in a podium finish: "it will be a good battle for second between us, UTEP, and Middle Tennessee. It is going to come down to the fifth man, and who can keep the tightest spread." He also added: "Travis and Jack do a great job in motivating the team and keeping them up, and I think they have a strong desire to do well."
Captains Travis Dowd and Jack Gray, both Juniors, will lead the Rice side for this weekend's championships race.
