CANYON, Texas - West Texas A&M will make the trip to Joplin, Mo. this weekend to compete at the Missouri Southern Stampede on Saturday, Sept. 18. It will be their first time competing at the Tom Rutledge Cross Country since 2018. 
 
LOOKING TO KEEP THE STREAK ALIVE
Florance Uwajeneza enters Saturday looking to keep her undefeated streak alive. The women's 500-meter race is scheduled to being at 8:30 a.m.
 
The junior is a perfect 4-for-4 on the cross country course as a Lady Buff including a dominant victory at the Texas Tech Open two weeks ago. Saturday's race will also mark her first time donning the Maroon & White in a cross country meet outside the great state of Texas. 
 
THE SUPPORTING CAST
Uwajeneza gets most of the headlines but the rest of the Lady Buffs are just as impressive on-and-off the course. In their victory over Division I schools Texas Tech and UTEP two weeks ago, WT put their top five runners in the Top 20 including a 1-2 finish from Uwajeneza and Eleonora Curtabbi. 
 
Curtabbi, who was a national qualifier in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in the spring, went under 18 minutes in her first cross country as a Lady Buff. 800-meter specialist Raquel Chavez finished 11^th with true freshman Betty Bajika in 15^thand Grace Dwyer in 17^th. Daphne Pate and Jamie Lahey also competed for the Lady Buffs finishing 58^th and 66^threspectively. 
 
A LOOK AT THE FIELD

No. 12 Southwest Baptist is the highest ranked team in the meet with No. 22 Dallas Baptist and No. 30 Nebraska Kearney also scheduled to compete. 
 
The Lady Buffs were ranked eighth in the latest South Central Region, three spots behind DBU. 
 
A FEW GOOD MEN
