Shreveport, LA - The University of St. Thomas men's cross-country team made a strong showing at the SCAC Championship Meet at Centenary College in Shreveport. Louisiana placed fourth overall with a score of 115 in the 8000-meter race. Competing against two very tough teams, Colorado College and Trinity, a larger (10-team) field than in years past, a new Head Coach in place, and a very young roster, this team has demonstrated a bright future for Celts' Cross Country.
