So.....Long Time, No See
It has been 475 days since the cross country programs have competed. The 'Dons were supposed to compete at the Jaguar Invitational at IUPUI on February 5th, but the meet was canceled due to weather concerns. The women's roster is made up of nine freshmen and seven sophomores, while the men's team consists of seven freshmen and eight sophomores.
Who Should I Look Out For?
Each team is only allowed to have seven individuals compete per gender. The Mastodons will send Camden Abernathy, Nathan Mills, Nicholas Mills, Kehinde Oladapo, Oneel Occenat, Husam Saleh and Andrew Whitinger for the men. Paige Benecke, Mallory Clements, Madison King, Kathy Potter, Kiannah Sarver, Angelina Sedlaczek and Gianna Stanich will run for the women. Purdue Fort Wayne will have 11 freshmen and three sophomores compete.
Back in 2019....
Last year at the 2019 Summit League Cross Country Championships Presented by U.S. Air Force Special Warfare, the men's team finished in fifth place with 142 points and the women's concluded the event in seventh place with 209 points. Sammy Moran led the way for the men's 8K in 24th place with a time of 26:16.9. Kathy Potter finished the women's 6K in 37th place with a personal-best time of 23:31.3.
Preparing for the HL Championships
Several Mastodons running at the Cross Country Championships ran last weekend (February 26 - March 1) at the 2021 Horizon League Indoor Track and Field Championships.
