BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The 2022 Cross Country season will officially begin this weekend as the Hoosiers head to Miami (OH) for the Redhawk Rumble.
Â
The first of five regular season meets will see six men and eight women represent IU on the Cross-Country course.
Â
A year after the COVID-19 pandemic forced both the 2020-2021 and Fall 2021 seasons into the same calendar year, the Hoosiers return to a normal schedule in the 2022-2023 school year for both Cross Country and Track and Field.
Â
The Hoosiers were fourth on the men's side and fifth on the women's side at the 2021 Big Ten Cross Country Championships.
Â
The women return four of their five-point scorers from the Big Ten meet while the men return three.
Â
Alyssa Skorge will lead a team of eight women into Oxford, Ohio this weekend. She owns a 5K personal best in Cross Country of 18:16.6 and was a member of the Big Ten team last year.
Â
Katelyn Winton and Claire Overfelt are set to make their collegiate debuts for the Hoosiers.
Â
On the men's side, the 2021 Big Ten Cross Country Freshman of the Year, Gabriel Sanchez, helps lead a team of six runners into the first meet of the season.
Â
Among those making their collegiate debuts includes Abe Eckman, who was fifth at the 2021 IHSAA Cross Country Championships, and Cole Raymond, sixth at last year's IHSAA Cross Country Meet.
Â
Saturday's races are set for 9:30 AM (Men's 8K) and 10:15 AM (Women's 5K).
