2013 Results Sheet
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The Southeast Missouri cross country teams will toe the line Saturday at the 2013 Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Championships hosted by Morehead State in Morehead, Ky. The men's 8K race will begin at 9:45 a.m. CT with the women's 5K race following at 10:45 a.m. CT.
It marks the first time that the event has been held in Morehead since 2002. The meet is free and open to the public.
This will be the 52nd OVC men's championship, as the first one was held in 1962. Eastern Kentucky has won the most OVC Championships (21), including the last seven in a row and eight of the last nine. EKU has had the individual champion in each of the last nine years.
The women's championship will be determined for the 35th time this year. Eastern Kentucky has won 26 of the previous 34 championships, including winning a season ago in Oxford, Ala. Belmont had the individual winner a season ago in its first year in the league.
On the men's side, Craig Munie recorded the sixth-fastest 8K time in the OVC this season at the Bradley Classic two weeks ago. The junior finished the course in 24:31 to place fourth in a field of 226 competitors. Munie was 22nd at the OVC Championship in 2012.
For the past 21 years the Southeast Missouri women's team has finished in the top half at the OVC Championship, including a few second place finishes but the Redhawks have never claimed the top spot. Junior Rebekah Lawson has earned a pair of OVC Runner of the Week awards this season and is looking to improve on her seventh place finish at the event last year; Lawson was sixth as a freshman in 2011. She owns the top 6K (21:20) and 4K (14:45) times in the OVC this season.
The OVC Athletes and Freshmen of the Year, which are determined by coaches vote, will be announced on Friday and awarded along with the Coach of the Year, Athletes of the Championship and All-OVC honors following Saturday's Championship.
