After two weeks of practice back together, Baylor cross country will start their season Thursday in Round Rock at the Concordia Tornado Watch Invitational.
The season opening race is a 5K, contrary to the 8K distance the team is used to during the season. Head coach David Barnett said he wants to use this shorter distance to gauge if the team is around its desired pace.
“Ideally, if you can run [a] 5k at the pace you ultimately want to [in] an 8k, that’s what we’re trying to do,” Barnett said.
