Cross country heads to BYU Autumn Classic

Comments
OGDEN, Utah A week removed from their first race of the season, the Weber State women's and women's cross country head down south to take on some stiffer competition. lt;br />The Wildcats will travel to Provo as Brigham Young will play host to the BYU Autumn Classic this Saturday at Clarence F. Robison Track and Field Complex. lt;br />The men's team will run against some of the best in that nation as the 9th ranked Cougars will be challenged by 24th ranked UCLA. The Wildcats will have their hands full but will look towards the leadership of their top two runners. Seniors Mike Hardy and Trevor Ricks will be in the mix for the individual title. While two others seniors, Tyler Robinson and Tip Worob will be relied on to be in contention as well. lt;br />The women's team looks to defend their title from a year ago but will be put to the test as they will face competition from Minnesota and BYU. The top three runners from the Utah Open, sophomore Ellie Child, sophomore Hailey Ricks, and junior Jamie Stokes will be a force upfront. But if the Wildcats are going to be successful, it will be dependent on the their fourth and fifth runners. lt;br />"We aren't going to hold back this week," WSU head coach Paul Pilkington said. "We are going to see where we are at a little bit. On the women's side, we will find out just how good the freshmen are because they were held back as well last week. I know our top 3 can run with any one but it's going to be important how our fourth and fifth runners do on both the men and women's sides." lt;br />Freshman Taylor Cox and junior Ashley Kealamakia will be other runners to watch as they try to stay as close as they can to the front pack.' lt;br />The men's race will start at 9:45 a.m. and will be followed by the women's race.
