Course Information
The women will open the day with a 6K race, followed by the men, who will compete in the 10K in accordance with NCAA championship rules. Lehigh University's course is considered an honest cross country course, featuring a flat start that allows for a fast opening mile.
The remainder of the course consists of rolling terrain through athletic fields and a small wooded section. The final 2K begins with a 1,000-meter uphill stretch, followed by a 1,000-meter downhill finish. Rain is also in the forecast, which could make for muddy conditions throughout the competition.
Last Time Out
The Eagles are looking to improve upon their performances at the Patriot League Championships, where both teams fell short of their expectations.
The men were once again led by junior
Noah Smith, who finished 10th overall and earned Second Team All-Patriot League honors. The women were led by freshman
Anna Villavicencio.
