LSU Invitational Cross Country Meet Results

 

BATON ROUGE - The LSU women's cross country team defended their home course as five runners finished inside the top-10 to lift the Lady Tigers to victory in the LSU Invitational at Highland Road Park in Baton Rouge Saturday.
 
The Lady Tigers were led by Junior Leigh-Ann Naccari's third place finish of 22 minutes 53 seconds over 6,000 meters. It was Naccari's second straight top-ten performance.

Junior Charlene Lipsey finished next for LSU just behind Naccari in fourth place clocking in at 22:05.9.

Brea Goodman ran a time of 22:29.7 to finish sixth,Andria Aguilar finished in 23:32.0 to come in seventh and Dakota Goodman was ninth across the line in 23:34.7.

"Our entire women's team ran well today," said LSU head coach Mark Elliott. "We faced some pretty good competition. It took a really good effort to win this race, which is nice because it's our home meet."

For the second week running, the LSU men finished second in the team meet behind Miami (Ohio).

The Tigers placed three runners inside the top-10 led by Senior Richard Chautin with a time of 27.29.1 over 8k.

Senior Cullen Doody finished ninth with a time of 27:52.4 and Junior Roger Cook rounded out the top-10 coming across the line in 28:03.7.

"On the men's side, I like that Chautin was our top runner today after Doody led us a week ago," Elliott said. "The interchange they've had means our guys are pushing each other. Hopefully they continue to improve."

LSU runner Laura Carleton won the women's individual meet with a time of 21:04.4 competing unattached because she is redshirting this season.

"Laura Carleton's not your typical athlete," Elliott said. "She's such a hard worker and she doesn't just rely on talent. It's great to see all her efforts pay off with an individual victory," Elliott said.

The LSU cross country team next competes at the McNeese Cowboys Stampede in Lake Charles, La., Saturday, Oct. 1.
