Aggies host NCAA region.
Cross country team looks for good showing after Big 12
By Maya Thomas
THE BATTALION
The Texas A&M cross country team will
host the NCAA South Central Regional
Saturday, Nov. 10, at the A&M Golf Course.
The Aggies are trying to qualify for the
NCAA Championship which will be held in
Greenville, S.C., Nov. 19. A first-place finish
at the meet on Saturday would mean the
Aggies could go to cross country’s big dance.
A&M will compete on its own turf two
weeks after the Big 12 Championships in
Norman, Okla. The men finished third at the
Big 12, and the women finished fifth.
In 2000, the A&M women finished first
at the South Central region and became the
first cross country team in A&M history to
qualify for the NCAA Championships.
Standouts Andrea Bookout and Melissa
Gulli helped lead the women to its first
regional title last year.
The A&M men finished fourth overall in
2(KK)’s South Central Regional, making a
strong performance against dominating teams.
“The men’s team in 1999 qualified for
NCAA for the first time in 17 years." said
A&M coach Dave Hartman. “The last year we
were a little down because we redshirted two
of the top live guys from the previous
