The men’s and women’s cross-country teams traveled to Tulsa last Saturday for a one-on-one showdown against Oral Roberts.

The mens took four of the top five places in the 5K race, leading to a victory against the Golden Eagles.

Junior Zach Mathias placed 2nd (15:43.28), senior Brandon Liebold placed 4th (16:20.89) and sophomore Dirk Hudson finished 5th (16:30.33).

The lady Roos put up a fight in the 2K race, but did not duplicate the men’s success.

The Roos’ next meet will be the Cowboy Jamboree, hosted by Oklahoma State on Oct. 1 in Stillwater, Okla.
