Baylor cross country hits the road to Ames, Iowa, to compete in the 2018 Big 12 Championships on Friday at the Iowa State Cross Country Course.
Both the men’s and women’s teams are permitted 10 participants, but the men’s team will only field eight due to injuries. Both sophomore Jeremy Meadows and freshman Cal Johnston will sit out this weekend’s race. Baylor associate head coach Jon Capron said the Bears will be thrusting freshman Ryan Day, who was added to the roster last week, into the mix and they are counting on some of the upperclassmen, including sophomores TJ Sugg and Connor Laktasic, to perform well in the absence of Meadows and Johnston.
