EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville senior cross country runners Anna Lowry (Taylorville, Ill./Taylorville) and Sam Weldon (Fort Wayne, Ind./Bishop Dwenger) both placed in the top 10 in the women's 6-K race Saturday morning, while sophomore Peter Epur (Eldoret, Kenya) finished in the men's top 10 in the 8-K at the annual University of Evansville Invitational.

"Overall, I was really proud of the effort that both teams gave today," said UE cross country head coach Don Walters.  "I am especially proud of the seniors, not only for their effort today, but for everything that they have done for our program over the last four years.

"I honestly do not remember a senior class that I put more on during their four years at UE.  This group has done a tremendous job of handling everything though, and I will truly miss this group.  Each of them has really matured into outstanding leaders, and I cannot wait to see what they will do in this world when they graduate.  I am extremely proud of all of them."
