RICHARDSON, Texas -- David Dugan and Walker Reeves were named to the ASC Runners to Watch list and the LeTourneau men's cross country team was picked third in the annual ASC Preseason poll, announced the league on Monday.

The conference's head coaches voted on the preseason poll.

LeTourneau, under head coach Kathleen Raske, finished third in last year's ASC meet and racked up 60 points to place third in the poll. 

Dugan, a sophomore from Lake Oswego, Ore., earned ASC Freshman of the Year honors last year. He placed fifth overall at the ASC Championships to claim a spot on the All-ASC first team. Dugan won the season-opening Nicole Leman Invitational and was one of the top runners all season long for the YellowJackets. He placed 78th at the NCAA West Region meet to conclude the season.

Reeves, a junior from Cushing, Texas, had a pair of top-five finishes in cross country a season ago. He was fifth at the ETBU Tiger Invitational and placed fifth at the Nicole Leman Invitational. 

UT Dallas picked up six first-place votes to earn preseason favorite status. Defending champion McMurry was second with three first-place tallies.

LeTourneau opens the season on Saturday by hosting the Nicole Leman Invitational (8 a.m.).
