HUNTINGTON, W.Va.--The Marshall cross country teams will compete at the Falcon Invitational hosted by Bowling Green State University on Friday. The meet will be the team's final regular season competition of the season.
The meet will take place at the Bowling Green Cross Country Course on BGSU's campus. Expanded meet information can be found HERE. The women's 6k race is at 4:30 p.m. with the men's 8k race to follow at 5:15 p.m.
With the Sun Belt Championships two weeks away, Marshall head cross country coach Caleb Bowen looks forward to the final regular season tune-up.
"The Falcon Invitational is going to be a great opportunity for our athletes to simulate the conference championship meet," Bowen said. "It's an extremely competitive field made up of some of the best teams in the Midwest but also is a much smaller meet than the Louisville Classic. Here every spot matters and it's imperative that we have a tight pack throughout the race. I'm stoked for this one and it's going to help us get into the championship mindset that we need going into the Sun Belt Championships on October 29th."
Marshall had a successful day at the aforementioned Louisville Classic their last time out, with 13 runners setting new personal records. Senior Abby Herring finished 18th overall, setting a new Marshall women's 5k record with a time of 17:45.7. The men finished 12th out of 45 teams in the event, with sophomore Branden Wood's 35th place finish leading the way.
