September 29, 1999 | Women's Cross Country
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Lady Vol cross country squad will travel to Auburn, Ala., to compete at the 1999 Auburn Invitational on Fri., Oct 1. Thirty-four teams make up the women’s event, including Southeastern Conference foes Georgia, LSU, Vanderbilt and Alabama. The competition will serve as a preview for the NCAA South Region Championship, which will be held on Nov. 13.
The Lady Vols are entering the meet after taking third place at the Western Carolina invitational on Sept. 4, and placing first (tie) at the University of Tennessee Invitational on Sept. 17.
