Makenna Calbert is the highest-placing returner from last year's meet, finishing in 190th for the women at 19:17.52. Fellow returners Cadi Rowe (19:19.69), Caroline Montini (20:42.41) and Aisley McMeen (21:11.94) followed her in 196th, 290th and 303rd, respectively.
This season, the Trojans have revamped their roster with 12 freshmen who've already made an impact. In the JSU Foothills Invitational, Troy placed three freshmen, Keith Warner (12th), Sam Megginson (34th) and Caden Blackman (45th), in the top 50 on the men's side.
Freshman Lucy Turley led the way for the women to finish fourth with an 18th place finish individually, timed at 14:57.90. Both sides seek to use their youth to top the results from 2022.
