Box Score The Tigers started their season with a 2-mile race in
Brackenridge Park. Both men and women took second place behind
Division I, UTSA. Junior Robert
Edmonds (San Antonio, TX) and Senior Caitlin Masse (Katy, TX) won their respective
individual races.
On the men's side, Edmonds's time of 9:41 was a new Trinity best
for the annual 2-mile race. Edmonds also notched his
first cross country win as a Tiger by surging away from the field
in the last quarter mile. He was followed closely by sophomore
standout Sal Perdomo (Irving, TX), who finished a mere
five seconds back in 9:46. Senior Zach
Brush (Edmond, OK) was the third Tiger finisher and
seventh overall, running the course in 10:00. The sophomore
duo of Pancho Escobedo (San Antonio, TX) and Mark
Greene (San Antonio, TX) rounded out the Trinity top five
with times of 10:08 and 10:10, respectively. Freshman Josh
Carter (Joplin, MO), who was only ten seconds back
from Mark Greene, proved to be the standout
newcomer for the men. The team was eight points shy of
UTSA, who won the meet with 28 points.
On the women's side Masse finished the course with a time
of 11:38 - her fastest time yet on the course - with freshman Rosemary Steup (Kingwood, TX) finishing fourth overall
with an impressive time of 11:52. First-year Vanessa
Moreno (El Paso, TX) was only fourteen seconds back from Steup
with a seventh place overall finish. Rounding out the top five
were first-years Maddie Murphy (Friendswood, TX) and Jackie
Newell (Frankfort, IL) who placed eleventh and fourteenth
overall. This marks the first time in history where Trinity has had
first-year runners in four of the top five spots.
The Tigers will return to action in nine days against a
primarily Division I field at the Texas A&M
Invititational. The Aggies have changed the schedule from years
past and with have the college division race on Friday
night instead of Saturday morning. The women will run a 5k at
6:20pm while the men will race their first 8k of the season at
7:20pm.
