HOUSTON, Texas -- The Stephen F.

The women's race start off at 6:15 p.m., after the College Race (1 mile) and Yahoo Race (open to all runners) take place beforehand. Following the conclusion of the women's race, the men will get underway at 6:45 p.m.
This weekend's Rice invitational is the second of six meets on the schedule for the cross country program this fall. The team will next run at the Chili Pepper Festival on the 22nd. A trip back to College Station as part of the Arturo Barrios Invitational on October 13th will precede the Southland Conference Championship on October 26, with the NCAA South Central Region following two weeks later. Any athletes qualifying for the National Championship will travel to Madison, Wisconsin on November 17.
A full recap of the day's finishes will be available on sfajacks.com on Friday night.
