SAN ANTONIO — UTSA's men's cross country team will return to action on Saturday morning when it makes the trek to College Station for the second time this fall for the Texas A&M Invitational. The women's 6,000-meter race is scheduled to be contested at 9 a.m. at the Dale Watts Cross Country Course.
A field of 20 teams is scheduled to compete, as Baylor, Central Arkansas, Houston, Houston Baptist, Kentucky, Lamar, Lipscomb, LSU, McNeese State, Midwestern State, Prairie View A&M, Rice, Sam Houston State, Tarleton State, TCU, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Texas Southern and Texas Wesleyan will have entries in addition to the host Aggies and Roadrunners.
