LIVE OAK, TEXAS (Oct. 8, 2016) – For the first time ever, the Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's cross-country team won the Non-Division I 8K at the UIW Invitational on Saturday at Live Oak City Park. This is the 11th annual event sponsored by NCAA DI University of the Incarnate Word.  In 2010, the Saints placed 11th, in 2014 they placed sixth and last year, they were second.

Head Coach Stephen Sherman commented, "The men made a resounding statement today about what they can be when motivated. I haven't really gone into any statistics but that probably was the best team performance I've ever seen from our men. It's definitely in the top three. Now the question is whether or not this is who we are going to be from here on out or if it is merely who we were once."
 
The meet was the ninth consecutive year at Live Oak City Park and was the largest meet in school history. A total of 252 college athletes from 12 men's teams and 13 women's competed at the invitational.
