Three Things to Know
- For All the Marbles
The season has been building up to this – the Sun Belt Championships. In Saturday morning's races in Georgia, Little Rock will be competing against a full conference slate of opponents for both a team trophy and individual all-conference honors.
- An easier course than last time out?
In Little Rock's last outing at the home Little Rock Open at War Memorial Course, the Trojans were challenged by the rolling hills in the Natural State. A more forgiving course will be set up in Hampton, Georgia at the Nash Farm Battlefield. Will the more challenging course in Little Rock have the Trojans prepared?
- Growth Test
So far this season, nearly every member of the men's and women's cross country teams have vastly improved upon their times thanks to the guidance of new distance coaches Meg Joiner and Alan Webb. This weekend's races will provide a thorough evaluation of the growth of the two programs over the course of the past season in comparison to the rest of the conference.
