Raider Runners Ready to Nationals Return

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – On Saturday, Nov. 18, 364 days after its first trip to the NCAA Championships, Middle Tennessee's men's cross country team will return to the nation's final meet.

"I think we're feeling good right now," senior Sampson Laari said. "Last year was our first experience, and I think excitement was a little bit down. But, now we've been there before and we know what we're expected to do.
