The men's and women's cross country teams traveled to Notre Dame Friday with an optimistic outlook. They left with mixed emotions. While the men placed fifth, beating two top-25 teams, the women fell short of their goals, finishing 12th in a field of 31 teams.
Despite her youth, freshman Linda Tran could hardly be considered inexperienced when it comes to playing tennis. She picked up the game at the age of 9, and since then, nothing has stopped her, not even the transition to the college game. Three weeks ago, playing in her first college tournament, Tran won her singles flight at the Indiana Fall Invitational, and she said she hopes to continue her success.
