DeKALB — Cross country will be opening the season with the Western Illinois University Early Bird meet.
The last time the team traveled to WIU was in 2009 when they placed 5 out of 7 at the WIU Open.
The cross country team is looking to have another great season after they placed fourth in the Mid-American Conference Championships and fifteenth place in the NCAA Midwest Regional Championship.
“We’re the only team in the conference returning 3 all conference runners,” Head Coach Adrian Myers said. “That’s something from a statistics standpoint makes us very competitive.
