The Syracuse Orange travel to the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Madison Wisconsin with a different focus than last year. In 2017 the Orange women were competing for a top twenty spot while the men were pushing for the team title. This year Shannon Malone is the only Syracuse woman competing and this year’s men’s squad won’t face the same pressure. Syracuse is projected to be battling for a top 15 place in Saturday’s 10k race and they are certainly under the radar.
Head Coach Brien Bell is impressed by how Shannon has responded to a shortened senior season.
