STILLWATER, Okla. – The University of Tulsa men's and women's cross country teams opened the 2015 season Tuesday morning, with the running of the Cowboy Preview at the OSU Cross Country Course.

The men's 5K and women's 3K races represented the first events of the new year for Tulsa, Oklahoma State, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The Golden Hurricane men's squad completed the meet with a team duels record of 1-2, while the women's side posted a 0-3 mark in the team duels. TU Head Coach Steve Gulley said he was glad to get the season going and get his runners back out on the course for competition.

"It was good to open the season up, and figure out where we are, especially with a lot of our younger runners," Gulley said. "We'll go back and make some adjustments and go get ready for our next meet in a few weeks."

Redshirt freshman Austin Del Rosso was the top finisher for the Tulsa men, placing 10^th with a time of 16:18.3 in the 5K run. Redshirt freshman Isaac Dobos and sophomores Dallas Elmore and Adam Roderique followed in succession at 11^th, 12^th and 13^th, with respective times of 16:19.0, 16:21.4 and 16:21.4. Sophomore Steven Salvano rounded out the TU scoring with an 18^th-place time of 16:38.7.

Sophomore Alyssa Jones paced the Hurricane women with a 17^th-place time of 11:11.8 in the 3K race. She was followed closely by juniors Olivia Lopez and Stacie Taylor, who placed 18^th and 19^th with times of 11:12.7 and 11:13.2, respectively. Redshirt freshman Alyssa Bolliger finished 22^nd with a time of 11:18.3, and sophomore Emma Galbraith rounded out the scorers with a time of 11:27.2, placing 25^th.

The Hurricane men's team defeated Arkansas, 21-36, and fell to Oklahoma, 32-23, and Oklahoma State, 41-15. The TU women fell to Oklahoma, 38-18, Arkansas, 47-15, and Oklahoma State, 45-15.
