Aug 31 | Cross Country
DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU Women's Cross Country team will travel to Waco, Texas for the Bear Twilight Invitational tomorrow night. This is the fourth straight season that the Mustangs have gone to Baylor to start their season, finishing in second place each of the last three years.
Last season's second place finish at the Bear Twilight Invitational was highlighted by the individual win by Karoline Skatteboe. SMU had four other racers finish in the top 20 that included a sixth place finish from Agnes Sjostrom, ninth place from Holly Archer, 11th from Shanoah Souza and 19th place from Claire Trotter.
The Mustangs are hoping to build off of the finish to the 2014 season, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the NCAA Championship as a team by finishing in third place at the South Central Regional. Sjostrom qualified for the NCAA Championship as an individual, finishing in 101st.
USTFCCCA Regional rankings are scheduled to be released today, with National rankings coming out tomorrow. The Bear Twilight Invitational is a 4K race that will start at 7 p.m. CT at the Heart of Texas Soccer Complex.
