Cross country: Running through Madison, Badgers close season strong at Nuttycome Invite

The Wisconsin men’s and women’s cross country teams each posted solid results on their home course at the Nuttycombe Invitational on Friday.

In the last meet of the regular season, both teams, led by head coach Mick Byrne, competed against some of the nation’s top teams in the first major race of the season for either group.

Entering the day ranked 29th nationally, the women’s team was first to the course. Led by graduate student Leané Willemse, who was the first Badger to cross the finish line, Wisconsin placed 11th in the Women’s 6k Championship race.
