Notre Dame, Ind. - The SMU women's cross country team posted strong times Friday at the 2006 Notre Dame Invitational. The Mustangs competed in the 5K Blue Division which included a number of teams that are ranked in the top 30 of U.S. Track & Field/Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) women's polls. Third-ranked Michigan, No. 7 Illinois and No. 12 North Carolina State raced in the Blue Division. SMU (346 points) placed 14th among the 19-team women's Blue Division. Michigan won the team title with 57 points.
SMU junior Rachael Forish turned in a stellar performance, placing eighth out of 157 runners with a time of 17:02. Jessa Simmons ran the event in a time of 17:55, one minute faster than her most recent race of two weeks ago. Jessica Jackson posted a mark of 18:03 while teammate Sierra Anderson finished the race in a time of 18:18. Rounding out the SMU team was Anne Gustafson (18:39), Magan Moore (19:10) and Rachel Barber (19:32).
The Notre Dame Invitational is one of the nation's oldest and largest intercollegiate cross country meets. It was started in 1956 by legendary former Irish head coach (and Canadian Track Hall of Famer) Alex Wilson and has been run continuously ever since. The men's races originally began as four-mile events before being extended to five miles in 1968, with the 5K women's race being added in 1987.
SMU's next competition takes place on Oct. 14 for the Chile Pepper Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark.
