MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - The Central Michigan men's and women's cross country teams open the 2016 season on Friday with the 31st Annual Jeff Drenth Memorial at Pleasant Hills Golf Course.
The men's race is set to begin at 10 a.m. with the women's to follow.
The CMU women return the core of a team that finished third a year ago at the Mid-American Conference Championships.
Kirsten Olling, who earned First Team All-MAC honors last fall with a seventh-place finish in the league race, is the top returnee.
