EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Drury junior Jaime Villa Zapatero will run for a second time for a men's cross country national title on Saturday when he competes in the NCAA-II Championships here.
Villa Zapatero finished 20th in last season's NCAA-II meet in Slippery Rock, Pa., and will be looking to improve upon that standing when the 10K race begins at 1 p.m. at the Southern Indiana Course. The women's NCAA-II finals race begins at noon.
Villa Zapatero, who was battling flu-like symptoms earlier this week, will be trying to build on his momentum of the past few weeks, when he won his second straight Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship and two weeks later, finished second at the NCAA-II Midwest Region race in Kenosha, Wis.
