Herd cross country opens season in Kentucky

Marshall cross country will travel to Highland Heights, Kentucky this weekend to compete in its first meet of the season—the Queen City Invitational. Marshall will bring nine of its men and nine of its women to compete in the 5k. The meet will begin Saturday morning, as the men start at 9 a.m. and the women start at 9:30 a.m.

“We’re really excited,” Marshall assistant coach Caleb Bowen said. “Some of the girls raced in early May, some of the guys haven’t since April, so we’re really excited to get after it.”

Last season, Marshall men’s cross country finished fifth out of 11 schools at the Conference USA meet.
