Cross Country Set to Co-Host BIG EAST Championship

KENOSHA, Wis. – The 2023 BIG EAST Cross Country Championship, presented by JEEP, will be held this Saturday, Oct. 28th at Wayne Dannehl Course in Kenosha. This marks the fourth time Marquette University has co-hosted the conference's cross country championship.

The men's cross country team is coming off their best outing of the fall, placing fifth at the Platte River Rumble hosted by Creighton. The team is led by a pair of seniors in David Zeller and Dan Weizeorick. Weizorick finished inside the top-20 in two of his three fall events, while Zeller paced the Golden Eagles in his last race, finished a fall-best 14th individually.

The women are led by senior Lexi Keppler, who finished 24th in her last race with a personal best time of 22:57.0 at the Platte River Rumble. The Milwaukee native led the Golden Eagles in every race this fall. Freshmen Emma Coon and Brinley Everson finished second and third for MU in Omaha, both with personal best times.
