Five Total Rebels Finished Within Individual Top-10
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Ole Miss cross country started off its 2022 campaign with a pair of top-three team finishes under the lights at the Memphis Twilight on Saturday night.
The No. 16 Rebel women fielded a team of five true freshmen and came away with a narrow second-place finish to Middle Tennessee in the women's college 5K, 37-41, at a scoring spread of 1:15.19. Leading the way was Sophie Baumann, who finished in third place at 18:04.64. Joining her in the top-10 were Sarah Schiffmann in fifth at 18:15.26, and Frances Luna in seventh at 18:26.50. Other Rebel women competing were Samantha Ouellette in 12th at 18:59.26 and Jenna Kirby in 19th at 19:19.83.
The No. 19 Rebel men, meanwhile, sported a team of returners looking to shake the rust off for the fall campaign, finishing third overall in the men's college 4-mile race with 81 team points. Sophomore Aiden Britt led for Ole Miss in fourth place at 19:56.15, while Gabe Scales added a top-10 finish of his own in his collegiate debut in ninth place at 20:18.61. Other Rebel men in competition were Dalton Hengst in 18th at 21:08.00, Miles Phillips in 20th at 21:10.26, and Jack Filan in 31st at 21:36.19.
Ole Miss cross country will take next week off before hosting its first home meet in five years with the SEC Preview, which is set for Friday, September 16 in Oxford at The Ole Miss Golf Course.
