BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Cross Country head coach Brooks LeCompte and the Hilltoppers have released their schedule for the upcoming 2021 season.
"This year's schedule will be a very competitive one," said LeCompte. "Racing bi-weekly will allow us to optimize our training schedule while also getting into a great racing routine at the same time. We can't wait to get the season started in two weeks."
WKU will start things off on Saturday, Sept. 4 with a late-night debut at the Memphis Twilight Classic.
The squad will then head to Nashville, Tenn., for the Commodore Classic on Sept. 17, a meet they competed at in 2019.
Just over two weeks later on Oct. 2, the Hilltoppers will run a familiar course in E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park, with the team set to compete at the Live in Lou Classic for the 16th consecutive season.
WKU will wrap up regular season action on Oct. 16 when it heads to fellow Conference USA school UAB for the Blazer Classic.
The team will then open postseason play on Oct. 30 at the Charlotte-hosted Conference USA Championships before closing out the season at the NCAA Southeast Regional on Nov. 12.
WKU is currently set to return 13 student-athletes from both the men's and women's side, while welcoming 11 newcomers into the fold.
