Cross Country Preps for Blazer Classic

Live Results

TROY, Ala. – The Troy men's and women's cross country team will have their final race in preparation for the Sun Belt Conference championships when they travel to Montevallo, Ala., for the UAB Blazer Classic on Friday morning. The women's 6K race will begin at 9 a.m. with the men's 8K race beginning at 9:45 a.m.

"From a training standpoint, I don't feel there is much more we could've accomplished over the past month. We'll look to take advantage of the opportunity to compete against some of the better teams in the region. You'd like to be operating at full capacity at this point in the season, but we'll be sitting out runners in our top five in hopes of having them ready for conference."

The men return a familiar seven-man lineup with one new addition, Daniel Glick.

Last time out, Bradley Dixon paced the Trojans with a fifth-place finish in 25:59.90. Silas Franklin was Troy's second highest finisher placing 15th in 26:48.50.

On the women's side, Blount will send out an eight-runner lineup that includes their top runner from last race, Macki Walsh. Walsh led the women's side with an eighth-place finish in 18:18.60, a 5K personal record.

The Trojans will race in a field of 21 teams that includes in-state rivals Alabama, Birmingham- Southern, Samford and UAB.
