Twice is nice; Owls defeat Islanders yet again

(09/29/11 12:00am)

With the women's cross country team posting a narrow win over Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi at the 36th Annual Justin F.

However, sophomore Farah Madanay had other ideas, as she took first place for the first time in her collegiate career, crossing the finish line of the three-mile race in 18:27. Senior Halsey Fowler, who missed the Rice Invitational on Sept. 16, finished fifth overall last Friday, 18 seconds behind Madanay.

With experienced squads returning for both teams, there are expectations of the Owls sweeping the Conference USA Championship on Oct. 31 at Wildcat Country Club in Houston.
