The Javelina men\u2019s and women\u2019s cross country team season has crossed the finish line in a speedy fashion this fall semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday, Oct. 26 the Javelinas competed against the best of the best on their home turf at Dick Kleberg Park in the 2024 Lone Star Conference (LSC) Cross Country Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The women\u2019s teams saw athletes like senior Ivanova Yanes and Maya Espinosa take home ninth and eleventh earning them both all-conference honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This also marks the first time since at least 2006 that multiple Javelinas finished all-conference for the women’s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assistant coach Zachary Hall was extremely pleased at how well both teams ran this year accomplishing his five-year goal in just three years from when he came from another university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYanes and Espinosa ran with me at my previous institution, so it’s been a long time coming. I’m real excited for them because this conference is so much better than our last conference. So, it means a lot more that these two are successful here. And going into regionals, I think it sets us up in a pretty good place of success.\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other side of the finish line the men\u2019s team saw an eight-place finish which was its highest team placement since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the Javelina men\u2019s team also ran personal records on their way to the fastest team average time since 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the accolades at LSC Championship were just part of the Javelinas success this season where we saw both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s team break records all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Javelina fans saw back in Sept. when the Women\u2019s team paced their way to a first-place win and fastest time in program history while the men\u2019s team saw another impressive second place win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, in the second half of the season both teams saw multiple top 10 finishes and again multiple records being broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Javelinas will look to build on their success at the NCAA Division II Regionals in Denver, CO on November 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
