The coronavirus has prevented a lot of challenges when it comes to competing in sports. Many sports were not able to participate in their respective seasons, causing them to be moved to the spring.
However, cross country at Marshall University was one of the few Olympic sports that were able to compete during the global pandemic.
Not only were student-athletes competing for the Herd, but the coaching staff as well.
Cross Country and Track and Field Assistant Coach Caleb Bowen and Volunteer Coach HollyAnn Swann both competed in an Ultramarathon race, this one being local.
