LSU Cross Country Wraps Up Season at NCAA Regional

 

WACO, Texas -- The LSU men's and women's cross country teams finished the season with 13th and 19th place finishes respectively in the NCAA South Central Regional at the Cottonwood Creek Golf Course on Saturday.

Senior Cullen Doody was the first Tiger to finish with a 46th place performance of 32 minutes 38.6 seconds over 10,000 meters.

"We improved this race as compared to the SEC Championship, so it was a nice way to finish the team season," LSU head coach Mark Elliott said. "Cullen Doody consistently led our team this season. I think that says a lot about him. He has worked really hard and it paid off for him."

Richard Chautin was next across the finish line for LSU in 32:49.0 for 52nd place.

The rest of the Tigers to finish were Roger Cooke (33:47.2) in 83rd, Bryan Mutell (34:37.6) in 98th,Philip Primeaux (34:49.2) in 100th, William Wiesler (35:19.1) in 106th and Daniel Nally (36:01.3) in 115th.

Charlene Lipsey led the Lady Tigers for the second-straight competition with a 67th place performance of 22:55.5.

Leigh-Ann Naccari finished in 73rd place with a time of 22:01.3.
