KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Western Michigan cross country team kicks off the 2022 season on Friday at Valparaiso's Winrow Open.
The 5k race begins at 5 p.m. at the Sunset Hill Farm County Park in Valparaiso, Ind.
Before the season was set to begin, the team already had to face some adversity. A change in leadership in the program was made by WMU Director of Athletics Dan Bartholomae and assistant head coach Kevin Cataldo was elevated to interim head coach.
"The team is resilient and has done an excellent job of adapting to the changes," said Cataldo.
