Cross Country Prepares for NCAA Regional

MILWAUKEE – The Marquette University men's and women's cross country teams are competing at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional in Terre Haute, Indiana on Friday, Nov. 11.

The regionals will begin at 9 a.m. CT with the women's 6k race. The men's 10k race will follow at 10 a.m. with an awards ceremony to follow. Live timing will be available here.

The meet will be held at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center at Indiana State. The course features a challenging mix of uphill and downhill sections and its straightaway start stretches for nearly the first kilometer before a turn.

Since opening in 1997, this will mark the seventh NCAA Great Lakes Regional to be hosted at the course. The course has also hosted 13 NCAA Championships, four MVC Championships and the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Championships.
