Preview
The 2005 Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Men's and Women's Cross Country
Championships will be hosted by Otterbein this year at the Otterbein Campus
Course in
Westerville
. Otterbein's cross country course is located between
Africa Road
, just west of the
Rike
Center
and the
Clements
Recreation
Center
, and Cleveland Avenue, just north of
Main Street
and adjacent to the
Westerville
Community Center.
The women's race is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. followed by the men's race
at noon.
The Otterbein men and
Mount
Union
women won the 2004 OAC cross country team championships, respectively.
The Cardinals outran runner-up
Mount
Union
by eight points to capture its ninth overall men's team title, including its
second straight. Senior Mike Sawicki
(Ashtabula/Lakeside) will look to become the 15th OAC
runner to win back-to-back individual Cross Country Championship titles.

also returns after a fourth place showing a year ago.
