The Butler men’s and women’s cross country teams competed on Friday afternoon at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional in Terre Haute, attempting to make their way back to the National Championships. The last time the women went to the National Championships was in 2013, when they placed 3rd overall. The men made their last trip in 2008, when they placed 29th out of 31 teams.
The 24th-ranked women were led by junior Emily Royston across 6000 meters, placing 17th overall in 20:50.
