Cross country program looks to finish strong despite losing seniors.

To commence the 2023 season, Wichita State’s cross country team is prepared to prove themselves after losing a slew of seniors.

Head Coach Kirk Hunter is working with his runners to improve as the season starts. Hunter said both the men and women’s teams are looking strong.

Women:

The women’s team lost last season’s American Athletic Conference Champion Yazmine Wright who was a fifth year senior. The team lost five runners from last season including two seniors. This season, they are welcoming many new, young members into their ranks.

Overall, the team is looking to improve on their conference performance from last year.
