Cross country at NCAA Great Lakes Regional
The CMU men’s and women’s cross country teams will travel to Rochester to compete in the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championships on Saturday.
With the season coming close to an end, the team looks to finish strong both this weekend and possibly qualify for the NCAA Championships.
The men will compete in a 10k race at 1:15 p.m. while the women’s team will be competing in a 6k race at noon.
At the Mid-American Conference championships on Oct. 30 in Kalamazoo, the women’s team finished second while the men placed eighth.
“We need to continue to stay confident and go out there and compete,” said CMU Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Willie Randolph.
Junior Raeanne Lohner leads a women’s squad that hopes to qualify for nationals. Lohner placed second at the MAC championship.
“This weekend we are looking to put our best race out there as whole,” Lohner said. “I’m looking to run a smart but extremely competitive race. The goal being to qualify for nationals.”
Rounding out the women’s side are seniors Brittany Dixon, Danielle Dakroub and Kylee Kubacki, juniors Holly Anderson, sophomore Maddie Ribant and freshman Krista Parks.
Seniors Cory Arnold and Chris Pankow, juniors Wade Buchs and Jeremy Kiley, sophomores Zach Tanter and James Drudge and freshman Nathan Huff will compete on the men’s side.
