The Cardinals' Last Action:
Aaron Haley (Plainview, Minn.) — competing in his first meet of the season — picked up right where he left off a year ago, placing second overall in leading the SMU men's team to a third-place finish at last Saturday's SMU Alumni Open, while Chelsea Tremblay (Hayward, Wis.) made the most of her first collegiate 5K in leading the SMU women's team to a third-place showing.

The Cardinals at the SMU No-Limit Invitational — A Year Ago:
September 28, 2012: SMU's Katie Stolz (Forest Lake, Minn.) set the tone for the day with a second-place finish in the women's race at the SMU No-Limit Invitational. And Peter Borash (Bowlus, Minn.) followed suit with a second-place finish of his own in the men's race. Aaron Haley (Plainview, Minn.), however, decided to do the duo one better, as the SMU sophomore led a 1-2-3 Cardinal finish in helping the Saint Mary's men to the team title. The Cardinal men edged second-place UW-Eau Claire by seven points, while the SMU women were third behind UW-Eau Claire and UW-La Crosse.

Up Next:
The Cardinals are back in action next Friday, traveling to Eau Claire, Wis., to take part in the UW-Eau Claire Invitational.
