BOULDER - The University of Colorado cross country program is back in action on Friday with both the men's and women's teams competing in Madison, Wis. at the Nuttycombe Invitational.
The Buffs are both ranked in the top-20 in the latest USTFCCCA Polls and are looking to improve on these rankings in their final meet before the Pac-12 Championships on October 27th.
Colorado will see a stacked field, including 36 men's teams and 34 women's teams. The list includes programs such as NAU, NC State, BYU, Notre Dame and many more of the nation's top-ranked teams.
The Buffs are sending a total of 27 athletes to compete in four races at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course. To start the morning, the women's 6K B race kicks off at 10:00 a.m. MT, followed by the men's 8K B race at 10:40 a.m. MT. The championship races will continue the day with the women's 6K at 11:20 a.m. MT and the men's 8K at 12:00 p.m. MT.
The women's squad will feature seven athletes in the championship race, led by redshirt senior Emily Covert. Covert placed fifth a few weeks back at the Virginia Invitational while running a new 5K personal best. Karrie Baloga will also look to lead the Buffs as the freshman finished 21st at the Virginia Invitational in her first major meet for Colorado.
Katie Doucette, Whitney Valenti, Elliot Pribramsky, and Samree Dishon will be important contenders for CU as well. Returning All-American Ella Baran will also compete in her first race of the season.
Austin Vancil, who placed 24th at the Virginia Invitational, will look to lead the men's squad. Transfer student Paul Stafford finished 11 seconds behind Vancil and will also look to set the pace up front.
CU will send eight total men to compete in the championship race, including Noah Hibbard, James Overberg, Caleb Niednagel, Isaiah Givens, Grady Rauba, and Hunter Appleton.
The meet will be live streamed here.
