Cross Country Heads to NCAA Championships

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A trio of Hoosier runners will head west to take on the nation's best runners in the NCAA Championships. Indiana State will host the Championships for the 12^th time since 2002, and the competition will be run on the Lavern Gibson National Championship Cross Country Course.

Sophomore sensation Katherine Receveur will look to ride her current hot streak into All-American status. Receveur has cruised her way into the NCAA race with championship level runs in consecutive races. After a 70^th place finish in 2015, Katherine dashed her way into a runner-up finish at the Big Ten Championships meet in Minnesota. Two short weeks later she crossed third in a highly competitive Great Lakes Regional race to claim an at-large bid as an individual for the NCAA Championships.

After a stellar season, that was abruptly cut short, the men's team will send two individuals to the start line on Saturday morning. Senior teammates Jason Crist and Matt Schwartzer will look to close out their respective cross country career will All-American accolades. Both runners have been spectacular down the stretch as Crist finished third in the Big Ten Championship meet while Schwartzer crossed fourth. In the Regional meet Matt led the charge, taking fourth, followed by Jason in sixth.

The women's race will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m. and will be followed by the men's race at noon. The awards presentation will begin at 1:00 p.m. and will honor the championship teams as well as those earning All-American distinctions.
