MOREHEAD, Ky. – The Southeast Missouri cross country teams toed the line in Morehead Saturday at the 2013 Ohio Valley Conference Championships. The women's team finished fourth as the men's team finished fifth. Rebekah Lawson placed second in the ladies' 5k race with a time of 17:49. Craig Munie placed seventh overall in the men's 8k with a time of 24:59. Since both placed in the top-seven, each earned First Team All-OVC honors.

"The race was as expected, very close on both sides from second to fifth-place," said head coach Ryan Lane. "We knew we could be anywhere in that mix; but we missed our goal of top-three on both sides. We are hungry to race again!" 
 
Behind Lawson was Gloria Westlake in 16th place in 19:01 and Mary Dohogne in 27th place with a time of 19:17. Melanie Lacey (19:23) and Laura Chavez (19:24) crossed the finish line together in 30th and 31st places, respectively. Madalyn Stichnot  (19:44.13) and Lindsey Seabaugh (19:44.88) also finished neck-and-neck in 45th and 46th places. Megan Parks finished out the race for Southeast in 51st place in 19:55.
 
Following Munie was Tyler Holmes in 20th in 25:45 and Charles Johnson in 28th in 25:59. Colten Strotheide  (34th, 26:25) and Ryan Anderson (40th, 26:34) rounded out the top 40. Shane Brown (46th, 26:50), Tyson Stoverink (55th, 27:22), and Marc Maton (58th, 27:31) finished out the race for Southeast.
