The men’s and women’s cross country teams will compete in the Big East Championship this Friday, Oct. 28 at Van Cortland Park in Bronx, N.Y.
The Big East is filled with multiple top-notch teams, including three ranked in the top-10 in the country: Providence, Georgetown and Villanova. While the Pirates look to be heavy underdogs, they have multiple runners from both their men’s and women’s teams that will look to compete with the best of the conference.
The men’s team will be led by its strong and experienced junior class. Louis Bustamante, Bryant Cordova and Jake Simon each had big seasons for the Pirates.
