AUBURN, Ala. – Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns men’s cross country team competed in a field of 24 teams Saturday in the 8K Mel Rosen Orange Race here in the Auburn Tiger Invitational at Indian Pines Golf Course.
While the team didn’t finish near the top of the standings, every runner who finished the race posted his season-best time in the 8K.
A total of 213 runners took part in the race giving the Cajuns a lot to contend with.
Reese Lee topped the UL contingent with a time of 26:36.48, besting his previous season best by 50 seconds and recording the third-fastest 8K time by a Cajuns runner this season. Lee finished 157th.
Joby Gisclair saw an improvement of over one minute on his season-best. Gisclair completed the race in 27:08.36 (season-high entering was 28:25.69).
Jacob Delahoussaye competed in his first race of the 2008 season. He logged a time of 28:08.49.
Also beating his season-best by a little over one minute was Geoffrey Godeau who clocked in at 28:11.79.
Two runners, freshman Alex Breaux and Jaron Ortego, did not complete the race.
As a team, Louisiana finished 24th with 689 points.
Lady Cajuns 2nd as Parker Wins Centenary Invitational
SHREVEPORT – Paula Parker claimed the individual title and Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns women’s cross country team had three runners in the Top 10 here Saturday in the Centenary Invitational.

Ashley Faulk timed in at 25:35 for a third place finish and Torri Choate clocked in at 26:46 for a seventh place finish. It was a season-high three Cajuns runners in the Top 10 and the second meet of the season with at least two (Parker and Faulk were in Top 10 at ULM Warhawk Invitational).
Adrienne Carriere and Colby Martin were separated by four seconds. Carriere ended the 6K run in 28:50 and finished 19th while Martin’s time of 28:54 was good for 20th place.

All is lost!
Disband the program. BTW, I have no idea what we lost.![]()
Also, I think Baker University and Cloud CC should fire their coach.
Looks like we beat Arkansas St. again in another close one. Not the Red Wolves weekend!
