After placing several runners on the all conference team at the American Athletic Conference Championships, the men’s and women’s cross country team is preparing for the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in Columbia, Missouri.
The men placed second at the conference meet on Oct. 28 which was the highest they have ever finished in the AAC. Senior Clayton Duchatschek led his team with a fifth place individual finish in the men’s 8K. He finished the race with a time of 24:08.4.
Duchatschek also recorded the highest individual finish for a men’s runner from Wichita State since Mickael Colin’s third place finish at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in 2002.
