IRVINE, Calif. --- A home meet launches the 2014 schedule for the UC Irvine women's cross country team.
Coach Jeff Perkins' squad hosts the adidas/UCI Invitational Sept. 6 on campus at the Anteater Recreation Center Fields.
Subsequent meets are the Mustang Challenge in Santa Clarita Sept. 20, the Stanford Invitational Sept. 27, the Vanguard Invitational at Fairview Park in Costa Mesa Oct. 11, the Highlander Invitational in Riverside Oct. 18, and the Titan Invitational at Cal State Fullerton Oct. 24.
The Big West Conference Championship is at UC Riverside Nov. 1, the NCAA West Regional is at Stanford Nov. 14 with the NCAA Championship in Terre Haute, Ind., Nov. 22.
Perkins is in his first season as the Anteaters' head cross country coach after taking over leadership of the track and field programs last Jan. 1 from Vince O'Boyle, who retired after 32 years at UCI.
For this season's team, Perkins points to senior leadership from Kaycee Holcomb, Chelsea Schneider and Colleen Lillig.
Holcomb finished 42nd at last year's Big West meet and was the team's top runner at the NCAA West Regional, while Schneider and Lillig are coming off strong track seasons this past spring.
