TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Indiana State men's and women's cross country programs will not compete in the Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Championships, Program Director Angela Martin announced Monday morning.
"Going through the ups and downs of the COVID-19 pandemic has been stressful on our student-athletes," Martin said. "The distance runners took the brunt of it, losing their outdoor season in 2020 and their cross country season in the fall. The coaching staff has had many discussions with the student-athletes and has made the joint decision to opt-out of the MVC Cross Country Championships.
