Tucked in on the north side of Highway 60, just a wee bit south of Plant City, is a tidy rectangle of trees, trails, hills and lakes called Sydney-Dover Trail Park.  Rarely noticed by the tens of thousands of drivers hurrying to and from Tampa (or to the stores that have besieged it), this runners Eden has been adopted by the University of Tampa cross country team for their annual early season event.  It has subsequently been claimed by UT's Jessica Forrester as her own little corner of the universe.

  HUNSTVILLE, Texas - The Southeastern Louisiana University men\'s track and field team totaled five individual titles, ten all-conference honorees and 129 team points, but it wasn\'t enough to hold off a late-charging Texas-San Antonio squad that used a sweep of the top three spots in the 100 m and 200 m dash to total 138.5 team points to edge the Lions for first place at the 2008 Southland Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships by 8.5 points. At the end of the three-day competition, the Lions turned in a second-place finish, their best performance at the conference meet since joining the SLC prior to the 1998 season.

OXFORD, Miss. - Senior Lions' thrower Teremine White surpassed the regional mark in the men's discus en route to a second place finish and senior Lady Lion thrower Collenna Collins hit a regional mark in the women's hammer throw while finishing second to provide some of the more notable highlights for the Southeastern Louisiana University track and field program at the Mississippi Open hosted by Ole Miss.
