BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The North Texas cross country team competed at Texas A&M's Arturo Barrios Invitational on Saturday at the Dale Watts Cross Country Course.
The men's team finished third in the field just ahead of LSU and host Texas A&M, with an average time of 24:15.39Â in the 8k race, while the women's team came in 27th with an average time of 23:44.15 in the 6k event.
The men's squad was led by junior Caleb Bouchard, who finished 21st in the 8k in a time of 24:07.2, while graduate student Jack Beaumont finished 29th in 24:11.4. Braden Lange (31st), Alec Esposito (32nd) and Victor Neiva (40th) also notched top-40 showings for the Mean Green.
"Overall, it was a mixed bag today in terms of performances for both the men's and women's teams," head coach Matt Layten said. "I think there were a lot of instances where we competed well against strong regional competition today, but feel we can be even better. We are looking forward to taking feedback from this weekend to get our teams ready to compete well at our conference championship meet in two weeks."
The team now sets its sights on the Conference USA Championship on Oct. 30, in Charlotte.
