BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Cross Country is set to compete at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships Friday, Nov. 15 at Panorama Farms in Charlottesville, Va.
The women will open competition with a 6k at 9:30 a.m. CT, while the men's 10k is set to start at 10:30 a.m.
The men will be sending seven student-athletes to Regionals in Will Perrone, Clint Sherman, Jacob Skillman, Ethan Snyder, Jacob Steppe, Dedrick Troxell and Emerson Wells, while the women will send two competitors in Savannah Heckman and Morgan Kannapel.
This will mark the first time WKU has sent runners to Regionals since 2016, when Lindsey Hinken was the teams' lone representative in the women's 6k. Hinken earned an 84th-place finish out of the 227-participant field after recording a time of 22:15.1 in the race.
The last time WKU had a team compete at the Regional Championships was in 2015, where the women's squad placed 14th out of the 33-school pool, topping nationally ranked programs such as No. 9 Richmond, No. 14 Coastal Carolina and No. 15 Appalachian State.
Hinken was again prominent for WKU, earning a time of 21:31.2 to place 22nd in a race that featured 235 runners. Katie Lever [38th Place – 21:56.8], Taylor Carlin [85th Place – 22:51.2], Aleja Grant [128th Place – 23:20.6] and Skyler Green [131st Place – 23:22.2] also competed on the women's side.
WKU also saw three runners compete on the men's side, with the trio of Endalow Takele [54th Place – 31:02.3], Aaron Stevens [108th Place – 32:01.4] and Julien Cuyeu [163rd Place – 33:03.4] all earning PR's in the 10k.
