TROY, Ala. – Six runners are set to represent Troy at the NCAA South Regional Championships on Friday morning in Tallahassee, Fla.
Five Trojans – Caden Blackman, Patterson Graham, Riley Treadaway, Lane Watson and Keith Warner – will compete on the men's side, while Winny Kosgei will represent Troy in the women's race.
"The NCAA Regional meets are some of the most exciting races in our sport," said head coach Brian Cunningham. "It is only at these meets that teams and individuals can qualify for the NCAA Championships. We raced on this course in early October and have several racers who participated in the regional competition last year. We are going to rely heavily on Lane, Keith and Winny to provide some leadership with their prior experiences. When it all boils down, it is a race and we are going to go out with the goal of beating people and exhausting our energy by the finish line."
The morning begins with the women's 6K race at 7:30 a.m. CT, followed by the men's 10K race at 8:30 a.m. CT.
The Trojans previously competed at the host course, Apalachee Regional Park, on Oct. 9 at the FSU XC Invite. Treadaway paced the Troy men in the 8K race, finishing 16th with a time of 26:21.50, while Kosgei recorded Troy's top finish in the women's 6K, placing 33rd in 23:34.50.
The top two teams at each regional automatically qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships, scheduled for Nov. 21 in Terre Haute, Ind. Additionally, the top four individual finishers at each regional who are not members of an automatic qualifying team or an at-large selection will also qualify.
