Ole Miss’ men’s and women’s cross country teams are scheduled to compete Friday at the NCAA South Regional Championships at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida. ESPN+ is set to broadcast the meet.
The calendar lists the women’s 6K for 7:30 a.m. CT, followed by the men’s race at 8:30 a.m. CT. The meet information labels the men’s event as a 10K in its schedule, though its entry list calls it an 8K.
The Rebels enter regional competition after the men placed sixth and the women finished 14th at the SEC Championships on Oct. 30. At each regional, the top two teams in both the men’s and women’s races earn automatic NCAA Championship spots. Fourteen more teams will be selected at large for the 32-team field. The top four individual finishers not on an automatic or at-large qualifying team also receive bids.
Ole Miss’ women’s entries are Maddie Archdale, Jillian Candelino, Hannah Doyle, Alicia Finnis, Adie Luna, Zoe Marsh, Leah Penick and Brooke Preputnick. The men’s list includes Sergio Del Barrio, Samuel Ferguson, Zack Gilbertson, Ky Hehir, Aidan Hodge, Owen Kelley, Kidus Misgina and John Shoemaker.
