The University of Houston men's and women's cross country teams travel to Stillwater, Okla. to run in the 66th annual Cowboy Jamboree on October 5, 2002.
Both teams were idle last weekend after running in the Sam Houston State Invitational on September 20 in Huntsville, Texas.

The Lady Cougars competed without their top two runners at Sam Houston State and finished in third place as a team. Freshman Autumn Tawater was Houston's top women's performer as she finished in fourth place with a time 19:49. Teri Littlepage was eighth among the collegiate runners with a time 20:08 and Shawna Florida finished in 18th place with a time of 20:39.
