Louisville faces nation's best in Madison
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – In a preview of next month's national championships, the University of Louisville men's and women's cross country teams head to Madison, Wisc. for Saturday's Wisconsin Pre-Nationals. The open meet will be held at the Zimmer Championship Course, the site of the NCAA Championships on Saturday, Nov. 17.
The women's team will compete in the 6K white race at 11:45 a.m. EST, followed by the men's 8K white race at 1:15 p.m. EST. Live coverage of the meet will be available through a subscription to FloTrack.
In the women's race, the regional No. 15 Cardinals will take on their first 6K of the season against many of the nation's finest programs, including No. 3 New Mexico, No. 5 Stanford and No. 10 Michigan. Junior Dorcas Wasike enters as one of the race's top contenders, bringing a three-race winning streak and three ACC Performer of the Week awards into the weekend. In last year's Pre-Nats at Tom Sawyer Park, she finished 11th with a time of 20:03.8.
On the men's side, the regional No. 14 Cards are pitted against national contenders such as No. 2 BYU, No. 4 Portland and ACC rival No. 8 Syracuse. Freshman Emmanuel Cheboson will look to follow up his win at the Louisville Cross Country Classic that allowed him to sweep ACC Performer and Freshman of the Week honors. Sophomore teammate Albert Kosgei has started to recapture his success from last season with two top-20 finishes to begin the year. Last season, Kosgei was Louisville's top performer at Pre-Nats, placing fifth with a time of 24:08.5.
Live results from the race will be available through Record Timing and a full recap will be posted following the competition. For updates and information, follow Louisville cross country on Twitter at @UofLTrackXC and on Facebook.
