MONROE, La. - ULM and the Monroe-West Monroe Convention & Visitors Bureau teamed up to win the bid for the 2009 Sun Belt Conference Cross-Country Championship.

The championship event will bring in 170 runners from the 11 Sun Belt Conference institutions and will be held at the Chennault Park Golf Course on Oct. 31, 2009. The cross-country championships are typically held on golf courses or along riverfronts.

This is the first Sun Belt Conference championship event awarded to ULM since becoming a full member of the conference. The 2006 cross-country championship was hosted by the UALR. Organizers expect the Chennault Park Course to be fast-paced and accompanied by beautiful scenery.
