9/7/2018 | Cross Country
Ylvi Traxler (First) and Michael Coccia (Second) Led for the Rebels
AUBURN, Ala. – Ole Miss took advantage of an early look at the conference championship course, with the Rebel men's cross country team emerging victorious at Auburn's SEC Preview on Friday morning, while the Rebel women took second.
The Rebel men edged out Tennessee, 31-35, for the team title, and the Rebel women snared a solid runner-up finish to the Vols at 34-53.
All five Rebel men's scorers placed in the top-10 of the 6K, led by Michael Coccia's second place effort (17:53.52) and Cade Bethmann's third place finish (17:59.51) in their first cross country races as Rebels. Robinson Snider – the top Ole Miss finisher last week at the Memphis Twilight Classic – finished in seventh (18:19.33), while Everett Smulders (18:22.51) and Dalton Hengst (18:25.41) rounded out the top-10 in ninth and tenth, respectively.
In her first career cross country meet, redshirt freshman Ylvi Traxler won the women's 4K race with a time of 13:24.71. In addition to her, three more Rebel women finished in the top-12. Junior Maddie McHugh, racing in her first cross country meet for the Rebels in two years, came in fifth place with a time of 13:32.49. She was followed by a tenth-place finish from Victoria Simmons (13:56.68) and a 12th-place effort from Anna Elkin (14:00.28).
Up next for Ole Miss is a trip to Boston for the Battle in Beantown, hosted by Boston College on Sept. 21.
