LOUISVILLE, Ky.- Austin Peay State University men's cross country
team returns to action with the 2011 Greater Louisville Cross Country Classic's
10:45 a.m., Saturday, eight-kilometer race, at E.P. 'Tom' Sawyer State Park.
The Governors will run in "The South's Largest Collegiate Cross
Country Meet," featuring 40 other schools. A rested Boniface Yator will look to
continue his impressive senior campaign. In three meets this season his average
finishing position is 15th, with his top performance being in a sixth-place
finish at the Fleet Feet Sports/Earl Jacoby Memorial.
"We
have made a lot of progress in the last two weeks," said head coach Doug Molnar. "I have seen a lot of good things happen in practice. The kids have
bought into getting a lot of mileage in."
The team will get a good chance to see how they stack up with the
rest of the Ohio Valley Conference as four other league members (Morehead
State, SIU-Edwardsville, Southeast Missouri, and UT Martin) are scheduled to
run in the meet. Other notable schools include: East Carolina, Kentucky,
Marshall, Marquette, Purdue, and Vanderbilt.
