RETURNING
Layne Nixon (pictured)- Nixon had an exceptional year as a Freshman. The Woodlands graduate led the roadrunners for most of the year including a 16th place finish at the Southland Conference Championships. He continued his success on the track running 15:02 for the 5000m.
Michael Cook- Michael had a very successful freshman campaign. The 2008 1600m State runner-up was the lead runner for the roadrunners at the South Central Regional race. His impressive 3:53 on the track qualified him in the 1500 at the NCAA Regional Meet.
Corey Vargas- One of two upper classman in the top 5 in 2008 Corey will add senior leadership. Corey is coming off a nice track season running 3:58 1500m.
Cole Reveal Stepped in as a freshman and did a good job. Cole placed 28th at the Southland Conference Championships. Look for Cole to continue to improve.
NEW
- Stitt, Jim
- Brandon Chiuminetta
FORECAST
Last year this team placed 6th at the Southland Conference for the 2nd year in a row. The team is loaded with young talent that got valuable experience last year. The addition of freshman Jim Stitt will only add to the young talent pool. Brandon Chiuminetta- Redshirted in 2008. He had a good campaign as a freshman so look for Brandon to be a top 5 contributor in 2009. The team is a top ten team that has good young talent and Vargas/Orndoff adds Senior leadership
