New Orleans, La. - Loyola's cross country and track head coach Andy Canegitta has announced the schedule for the men's and women's cross country team for the 2009 season.

The Wolfpack opens up the season in New Orleans at the Tulane Green Wave Invitational on August 28 at City Park.

 

In September, Loyola will host an invitational at Lafreniere Park in Metairie on the 12^th. The meet is slated for an 8 a.m. start. On the 19^th, the Wolfpack travels to Mobile to participate in the 37^th Annual Azalea City Classic. 

 

Loyola has three meets scheduled in October, with the first being the Gulf Coast Stampede on the 3^rd in Pensacola, Florida. On the 10^th at Choctaw Trails in Clinton, Mississippi, Loyola will run in the Watson Ford Invitational. The final meet of the regular season is on the 24^th at the University of Mobile Invitational.

 

For the GCAC Conference Championship, Loyola returns to Choctaw Trails in Clinton on November 7. The championship meet is set to start at 9 a.m.
