OXFORD, Alabama- The Trojans hit the road for their fourth meet of the season at the JSU Foothills Invitational.
Â
In the women's race, Troy came in 4th place out of  seven competitors with 113 points. Julia Ostendorf led the way for the Trojans in the women's 5k with a fifth place finish and a new personal best of 18:40.68. Katrina Bokefohr finished 21st out of the 49 competitors at 20:14.38, while Sara Lane followed closely in 26th with a time of 20:36.63.
Â
"We had some season-bests out there today," said head cross country coach Elliott Blount. "We are a little banged up in our 4-8 runners. We are going to have to find some more depth moving forward. However, I know with the energy these athletes have, we will continue to get better every week."
Â
In the men's 8k race, Troy came in fourth with 59 points. Freshman Cameron McCutcheon led the squad placing 8th with a time of 27:36.75. Sean Kent followed right behind at 27:38.58. Coming in third for the Trojans was Calvin Lysell with a time of 28:08.99.
Â
"I am very pleased with how the men competed this weekend," Blount said. "We have a lot of momentum heading into the last tune-up before conference play."
Â
Next up, the Trojans will head to Tuscaloosa for the Crimson Classic hosted by Alabama. The meet is highlighted by No. 17 Arkansas and includes conference rivals Georgia Southern, Georgia State, South Alabama, UT Arlington, UL Lafayette and ULM.
