The Louisiana College men's and women's cross country teams completed an improvement season on Saturday under first-year head coach LaTonya Loche with their competition in the 2018 American Southwest Conference Championship Meet. The Wildcat men finished 11th overall with an average time of 42:50.40 while the women competed as a non-scoring team with just four runners but took three top-30 finishes for their efforts.

The women's trio of Alyssa Hollier, Haleigh Lachney, and Maycee Lachney traversed the course together finishing in that order just seconds a part from each other. Hollier led the trio with a time of 27:01.92. more than three minutes faster than her previous time at the 6-kilometer distance. Haleigh clocked in less than a second after Hollier at 27:02.53 with Maycee coming in two-tenths after her sister. The twins also bested their previous top time in the 6K distance by more than a minute each.

The men's team, missing top-runner Nathan Anderson for the event, were led by Adam Hair at the season's final competition who turned in a mark of 33:56.50, just missing a personal best in the 8-kilometer distance for the season that he set at the Chile Pepper Festival. Johnathan Franklin was second for the guys and the only other LC runner to finish in less than 40 minutes with a time of 35:56.32, his second fastest time in the 8K distance this season.

All the Wildcat runners shows marked improvements throughout the season and many will continue their distance competition in the new year for the Wildcat track & field teams, also under Loche's direction.
