Texarkana, Texas - The Centenary men's and women's cross country teams completed action in the Texas A&M-Texarkana University Collegiate XC Invitational on Friday evening.
The Maroon and White were opening the season a week later than planned after not competing last weekend in The Opener at Mississippi College due to the current water situation in the Jackson, Miss. area.
Sophomore Madeline Vacula (Belton, Texas) highlighted Friday's meet for Centenary as she finished third overall in the Women's 5000 meter run with a time of 21.15.0. On the men's side, freshman Connor Irvin (Lafayette, La.) placed 14th in the Men's 5000 meter, running a time of 18:03.2 and fellow freshman Nehemiah Brown (Shreveport, la.) finished 35th (27.54.8).
Centenary was joined in the meet by the host Eagles, Cicso College (W), Henderson St. (W), Jacksonville College (M&W), Jarvis Christian (M&W), North Central Texas College (M&W), Philander Smith (M&W), and TAMU-Commerce (M).
