Alcorn Concludes Regular Season Saturday at Mississippi College

CLINTON, Miss. – In their final tune-up races before the SWAC Championships, the Alcorn State University men's and women's cross country programs will compete at the Mississippi College Invitational on Saturday morning at Choctaw Trails.
 
The men will run an 8K at 8 a.m. followed by the women's 5K at 9 a.m.
 
It will be the exact distances that Alcorn runs at the 2018 SWAC Championships, which will also be at Choctaw Trails on Monday, Oct. 22 at 8 a.m.
 
Senior Angelica Jacobs has been Alcorn's top finisher in every meet in her career. She'll be looking to crack a 5K personal-record time of 19:31.90 set at the 2016 SWAC Championships.
 
Both the Alcorn men and women have shown steady improvement week-to-week during the 2018 season. Most notably, sophomore Alanna Bass recorded a 5K time of 36:11.00 in the season-opener on Aug. 31, and then tallied a 27:30.0 in that same distance in Alcorn's last outing at McNeese State on Sept. 29.
 
The men will run an 8K after competing in back-to-back four-mile races at Louisiana Tech and McNeese State. Sophomore Peterson Saint-Cyrin shed a lot of time off his score as he posted a 28:05.4 at LA Tech and followed it up with a 27:26.1.
 
Freshman Lamaj Curry has been the top runner for the Braves this season. He ran a 23:51.7 at LA Tech and will be competing in his first 8K race as a Brave.
