UNLV Cross Country to compete at UC Riverside Invitational.
The UNLV cross country team returns to the Golden State for its second meet of the season with a trip to Riverside, California, for the UC Riverside Invitational. The four-race meet at UCR's Ag Ops Course commences with the women's 6K at 7:30 am followed by a men's 8K and two other races.
Â
The Rebels are one of 23 collegiate programs participating in Saturday's race. Nineteen of the squads hail from California, while the Rebels, Hawai'i, Southern Utah and Utah Valley will travel from out of state.
"This will be the first 6KÂ for the team this season," said UNLV's Yvonne Wade. "It will be a good measure for where they are at this distance at this time of year as they prepare for the Mountain West Conference Championships at the end of October which is also a 6K race. The team is looking good in training and their confidence is growing so I am excited to see them develop as a team."
Â
Kennedy Allen, Payton Fratusco, Agnes Mansaray, Nicole Snow, Elisa Rovere and Emma Wahlenmaier will represent the Scarlet & Gray in the Inland Empire.
Â
In the season-opening race two weeks ago, Mansaray ran a personal-best time of 18:15.30 in the 5K hosted by Fresno State. Elisa Rovere and Emma Wahlenmaier took 13th and 18th, respectively, while Allen (32nd), Fratusco (36th) and Snow (43rd) rounded out the team's scorers.
Â
REBELS AT HOME: The Rebels will host their own meet next weekend (Sept. 22) at the Lake Las Vegas Sports Club in nearby Henderson. The day will consist of a men's 8K (7:15 am) and a women's 5K (8:00 am) as well as a varsity boys 5K (8:30 am), a varsity girls 5K (9:15 am), an open boys 5K (10:00 am) and an open girls 5K (10:45 am).
