Cross country
The Southwestern women’s cross country team had another strong weekend at the Clark Invitational.
The Lakers had three athletes under 21 minutes, while Francesca Frasier nearly broke into the 19-minute range. Frasier was the team’s top runner with a time of 20:06, good enough for 11th overall on the 5,000-meter course.
Following closely behind were teammates Tracey Melgoza, 18th at 20:32, and Jesse Ward, 20th at 20:47. Other Lakers included Abby Gillaspie (51st in 24:46) and Rachel Rameriz (54th in 25:32).
The women placed fourth as a team, finishing behind Spokane, Lane and Everett.
The men’s team ran a tough race as well, though it was without one of its strongest runners in Kameron Ulmer, who was injured in an accident earlier in the week and unable to compete.
Josh Frasier led Southwestern with a 20th-place finish in 27:23 for the 8,000-meter course. Peter Becker was 27th in 27:48 and Andrew Scott was 36th in 28:11. Other Lakers were Travis Clark (58th in 29:18), Rob Manning (66th in 32:48), John Peterson (72nd in 33:14), Chris David-Garland (78th in 34:43) and Casey Gleason (81st in 34:56).
