SAN ANTONIO (Aug. 31, 2017) – The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) women's cross-country team has had much success the last few years after capturing a Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) championship title in 2013 and back-to-back titles in 2015 and 2016.
This year, Head Coach Stephen Sherman wants more. "Winning conference is great, but what are we doing beyond that? Last year, our women had a bit of a hangover, particularly from 2015 – our best year ever. But this year, we are putting more emphasis on, 'winning conference is nice, but let's go do something else.' We want to matter on the NAIA level."
The Saints have been picked to finish first in the RRAC Poll that was released on Aug. 21. They received 15 votes in the 2017 NAIA Women's Cross-Country Preseason Coaches' Top 25 Poll.
