HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University cross country team returns to the course on Friday, taking part in the relays of the LSU Invitational at LSU's University Club.
 
The men will run a 2x4K relay which starts at 8:15 a.m. while the women will run a 2x3K relay, which starts at 9 a.m. The meet will not be televised but live timing updates will be available through the host institution.
 
Southeastern is back on the trail two weeks after the team took part in its season-opening meet, the Battle for New Orleans where the Lions came in seventh and Lady Lions came in sixth.
 
Landen Schillage led the Lions on the 5K course in New Orleans with a personal best time of 16:43.0. On the Lady Lions side, Ava Pitarro was the first SLU runner to cross the finish line after 4K of running, stopping the clock in 16:14.9.
