The Wisconsin men’s and women’s cross country teams competed in the 2025 Big Ten Cross Country Championships Friday in East Lansing, Mich.
Racing first on Friday was the women’s team, looking to build on a strong performance at the Nuttycombe Invitational a few weeks ago.
Redshirt freshman Mikaela Helling led the way for the Badgers as the first runner to cross the finish line in the 6,000-meter race. Helling ran a personal-best time of 20:33.2, placing 21st overall.
Shortly behind Helling was grad student Kylie Finger who placed 30th with a time of 20:46.
