| Roberson leads Rice to victory |
|
by Anders Ryerson
The women's cross country team claimed the top three individual places and ran away with first place in the Rice Cross Country Invitational held on campus Saturday. The team finished with 16 points, the best all-time low score for a Rice women's cross country team en route to defeating Texas A&M University, which finished second. The meet also included Lamar University, Sam Houston State University, Southwestern Louisiana University, Loyola University, McMurray University and Texas Southern University. The event was the largest Rice Invitational ever and included 1,400 runners from area high schools, universities as well as intramural runners from Rice. Junior Shaquandra Roberson led the team by clinching the individual championship, her second consecutive title. Roberson completed the 2.1-mile course in 12 minutes, four seconds. Junior Kari Vigerstol finished just behind in 12:10, a step ahead of freshman Erin Brand, who placed third. The next Owl across the finish line was junior Alexis Smith, in 12:21, for fifth place.
