Cross country travels south to Commodore Classic

9/18/2015 9:19:00 AM

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Last weekend in Peoria, Ill., the University of Evansville cross country teams slashed minutes off of their season-opening times.  The Purple Aces hope that continues as they head to Nashville, Tenn. for Saturday's Commodore Classic.
 
Beginning the action on Saturday will be the 8K men's race at 9 a.m. before the women run a 5K event at 10 a.m.  Both races will take place at Percy Warner Park. 
 
Three nationally ranked teams will be running including: #12 Michigan women, #15 Ole Miss men and #22 Vanderbilt women.  The Commodore women are ranked No. 1 in the south region according to the USTFCCCA's regional poll.  There are also seven teams ranked in the South Region's top 15 who will be running on the women's side along with seven regionally ranked men's squads.
 
Last weekend at Bradley, freshman Sienna Crews was once again the top finisher for the women.  She had a stellar race, coming home in 12th place with a time of 17:49.3.  It was a great effort as she lowered her time from her debut of 19:01.1.  Making her effort even more impressive was that her finish came in a race that featured a total of 110 runners.
 
Finishing second for the Aces was senior Elizabeth Kingshott.  Her time of 18:40.5 was good for 27th place.  Ashton Bosler, another freshman for UE, was the third to cross the line for the team.  She ran a 19:16.3, which bested her Early Bird Invite time of 21:12.0.  Bosler came home in 34th place.
 
Junior Ross Frondorf led the way for the men in Peoria.  In an 8K race that had 78 runners, Frondorf finished in 32th place in a time of 28:31.3.  He knocked 2:13 off of his race in the Early Bird Invite.  Ben Woolems was not far behind as he came home in 37th, posting a time of 29:01.1.  He cut over a minute off of his time in the opener.  Crossing the line third for the men was freshman Andrew Barrett.
