The Aces last competed two weeks ago at the UE Invitational at Angel Mounds where the men's team finished second among the two team NCAA Division I field and the women's squad earned a followed suit with a second-place finish in a two team NCAA Division I field.

UE's women notched four top-18 finishes on the day, led by Sienna Crews.  The junior, who sang the National Anthem to kick the meet off, took 7th place with a 5K time of 19:54.5.  Following her was Anna Lowry.  Lowry finished the race in 12th out of 56 runners on the strength of a 20:25.8.
 
Taking 15th place was Ashton Bosler.  Her time finished at 20:41.8.  Izzy Dawson registered an 18th-place outing with a time of 21:11.9.  After her was Lauren Meyer, who took 23rd with a race of 21:42.4.

For the men, Stanley Chepchieng was the top performer, coming home in 16th place out of 72 runners.  Chepchieng set a new PR with an 8K time of 27:33.0, besting his previous best of 27:35.6, which was set at the John McNichols Invite earlier this season.  All three of his 8K races in 2017 have been under 27:40.

At last year's MVC Championships, both the Aces' men's and women's teams earned 10th-place finishes.
