Men and Women Look Strong in Season Opener
main image
The Cougars looked impressive in their opening start Friday night, at the BYU Alumni Invitational.
Despite the cool evening weather, and a small cast of competitors the men and women lit up the course.
Finishing ahead of the pack in the men's 4 mile, was junior Josh Rohatinsky who finished with a time of 19:50.2. Senior's Bryan Lindsay and Matt Adams followed right behind Rohatinsky. Lindsay finished second with a time of 20:25.2 and Adams finished third with a time of 20:42.2.
"I felt strong," Rohatinsky said. "I had a good off-season; I put in a lot of miles and I felt smooth out there."
In the women's 5K, sophomore Anne Heiner took home first place honors with a time of 18:58.3. Following her by ten seconds was sophomore Jenna Taylor who finished with a time of 19:08.3.
"I felt comfortable running out there," Heiner said. "I feel stronger then I ever have before."
UVSC and a small group of BYU Alumni competed against the 2004 Cougars.
"The way the pack distributed itself is fairly indicative of where we are at right now," said men's coach Ed Eyestone. "Josh is definitely our top guy and that's good. It's good to have somebody like him up front."
Some of the men and women's top runners did not compete. This gave the coaches a chance to look at their squads and see who would emerge.
"Anne ran great," said women's coach Patrick Shane. "That's probably the best cross country race Anne has run. She had a good summer of training and she looked strong."
Shane said the team ran just how he wanted them too and that he was very pleased with how they finished.
"They ran negative splits and that's what we wanted," said Shane.
Next weekend the men and women face a good group of runners from within the state as well as out, as they host the BYU Autumn Classic September 11. The race will be held at Cascade Golf Course in Orem and will start at 10:00 a.m. with the men's 4 mile, following with the women's 5K at 11:00 p.m.
