LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville cross country teams begin postseason competition on Friday morning with the ACC Cross Country Championships hosted by Florida State University.
The event will be contested at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Fla. which recently served as the site of the 2021 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Friday's meet begins at 8:40 a.m. ET with the men's 8000m race, which will be followed by the women's 6000m championship at 9:30 a.m. ET.
An awards ceremony will follow at 10:15 a.m. ET where the individual and team champions will be crowned while the top-21 finishers in both the men's and women's races will be recognized as All-ACC.
The meet will be streamed live on ACCN and on the ESPN app with coverage beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET.
More meet information can be found here.
The Cardinals will be looking to improve off their finishes at last year's ACC Cross Country Championships in Charlottesville, Va. where the men finished 12th in the team standings and the women placed 15th.
Two weeks ago, the Cardinals competed at the Arturo Barrios Invitational with Rylee Penn leading the women's team through the line with a personal-best 6K time of 20:20.2 to place 30th overall. On the men's side, Innocent Ntwali was the first to cross for Louisville, clocking an 8K time of 24:26.0 to take over 30 seconds off his debut performance earlier this season.
