Cross Country

Minnesota women's cross country coach Gary Wilson said this weekend's race was the opportunity his team needed to prove it has been under-ranked this season...
Oct. 13, 2006
Minnesota women's cross country coach Gary Wilson said he certainly hopes this weekend isn't the final time his team graces the LaVern Gibson Course this season.
The Gophers travel to Terre Haute, Ind., to compete in the Pre-NCAA Meet on Saturday on the same course the NCAA Championships will be at in November.

In many ways, Minnesota men's cross country runner Seijen Takamura's impact off the course is just as important as his contributions on it.

With the final two spots on the traveling team still up for grabs, some runners on the Minnesota women's cross country team were more concerned with one another than their opponents at Saturday's six-kilometer UMD Pine Hills Invitational in Carlton.
Oct. 04, 2006
In his 22 years of coaching, Minnesota women's cross country coach Gary Wilson has never seen a crop of runners as talented as those that currently comprise the Big Ten conference.

Minnesota's women's cross country team's fourth-place
finish at last weekend's Roy Griak Invitational was a
disappointment for coach Gary Wilson.
Sep. 29, 2006
In last weekend's Roy Griak Invitational, Minnesota's women's cross country ran its entire team in a field that included five teams ranked in the Division I top 30.
Sep. 28, 2006
As a freshman runner on Minnesota's women's cross country team, Lisa Remark had hopes that her fifth and final year was going to be the year where she really asserted herself on the course.
"It just kind of proves that you can't really plan out everything," Remark said.
Sep. 25, 2006
At Saturday's Roy Griak Invitational, Minnesota's men's cross country team was one of nine top-30 squads competing in the Men's Gold Race.

Coaching women's cross country for Wisconsin-La Crosse from 1977-1985, Gary Wilson always had the school host a big invitational. When Wilson came to guide Minnesota's women's team in 1985, he and legendary former Gophers cross country and track coach Roy Griak decided to do the same here. It's hard to imagine the two had any idea how big the Roy Griak Invitational would become. But it's just as hard to describe the Griak with any other word but "big," as the Invitational has become one of the premier collegiate running events in the nation.

At last year's Roy Griak Invitational, the Minnesota men's and women's cross country teams had strong performances; the men finished seventh while the women claimed second.
But the Division I race wasn't the only important run that day for the Gophers cross country program. The winners of the boys' and girls' high school races at the 2005 Griak, Mike Torchia and Elizabeth Yetzer, are now freshmen for Minnesota. Both are examples of why the program now ranks with some of the best in the nation.

As a freshman at Minnesota, Jamie Cheever attempted to pull off the feat of competing for both the soccer and women's indoor track and field teams. Things went quite well for her, as Cheever became an impact performer for both squads. But, in the end, Cheever decided she was in love with just one sport: running. So she dropped soccer to compete full time for both the indoor track and field and women's cross country teams.

Emily Brown, a senior co-captain for Minnesota's women's cross country team, said the Gophers set some goals during their recent training camp. Among them was the goal of sweeping the top five spots at the Oz Memorial Run, held Saturday at the Les Bolstad Golf Course. Consider that goal met. Minnesota actually took the top six spots - and 13 of the top 15 - and, by pulling down the top five positions, won the meet with a perfect score of 15 points. The other team in the meet, Drake, finished with 49 points.
Sep. 08, 2006
One of Minnesota's women's cross country team's captains, senior Lisa Remark, said last weekend's Maroon/Gold intrasquad run showed the team has a lot of promise heading into the 2006 season.
Sep. 07, 2006
A chance to build on a solid freshman season. A chance for assertion upon becoming an upperclassman. A chance to finally start a season at 100 percent physically. Minnesota's men's cross country runners Ben Puhl, Ed Kibira and Mike VanBeusekom might all have different points of view with regards to the 2006 season, but they do all have one thing in common. A chance to break through.
