BATON ROUGE, Louisiana — Freshman Cameron Sewell broke the Xavier Univeristy of Louisiana men's cross country record for 6,000 meters Saturday at the LSU Invitational.
Sewell, from Cincinnati and a graduate of La Salle High School, ran the course at Highland Road Park in 20 minutes, 8.1 seconds. Ray Walson set the previous school record of 21:08 in 2010.
Sewell placed 45th out of 77 runners and was the fastest Gold Rush finisher for the fourth time in as many meets this season. Sewell finished ahead of 19 NCAA Division I runners. XULA is an NAIA member.
Sophomore Taylor Price led the XULA women for the fourth time this year, running the 5K in 20:08.6 and placing 28th out of 68 runners. Price finished ahead of 30 NCAA DI runners.
It was the final XULA meet before the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championships Oct. 20 at Clinton, Miss. Both XULA teams are 10-time defending GCAC champions.
