NEW ORLEANS, La. -- The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its initial cross country regional rankings yesterday afternoon, with Western Michigan set to open the season at No. 13 in the Great Lakes Region.
The Broncos ended last season at No. 13 and return a wealth of talent from last year's team. All-MAC First Team performer Kayla Schiera will headline the squad, as she returns as a graduate student. She finished seventh at last year's MAC Championships and 57th at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional.
Along with Schiera, Annalise James, Brooke Soper, Katelyn Spooner, Maggie Raab and Lauren Sancrant return to help the Broncos.
