DALLAS – The three-time defending Conference USA Women's Cross Country Champion, Middle Tennessee, was named the favorite in this year's C-USA Preseason Poll, the league announced Tuesday. On the men's side, the Blue Raiders were polled to finish in second after winning the conference championship in 2021.
The reigning men's and women's Conference USA Champions are looking forward to another great season under Coach Vroman. During 2021, the Blue Raiders were able to continue their dominance, racking up 14 conference awards and taking their fifth and sixth combined title home since the 2016 season. The teams are returning six of their 10 C-USA All-Conference members from last season and have added a swarm of talent in the offseason.
