Thanks for the report, scoretable! It looks like another terrific year ahead for the CC teams, after last year's historic successes. Both the men's and Women's teams swept the 2025 MVC Championships for the second year in a row, and for the men it was the 3rd time in the last 4 years.

This year, the men's team finished 1st in their first 2 meets, and just finished 2nd yesterday out of 18 teams in a meet at Notre Dame that included several of the top ranked programs in the country. The women have also started well, including a 1st place team finish a couple weeks ago at the Bradley Intercollegiate Meet in a field of 13 teams, and a great finish yesterday at Notre Dame, finishing 7th out of 20 teams that included three top 12 teams in the national ranking.
And, there have been numerous great individual performances on both the men's and women's teams in their first three meets-

Very grateful that the team last year took the time to do a group photo with a 1959 cross country runner. Enjoyed talking with them.

Great photo Red#185. For a guy who has to be in his 80's, he looks like he could still compete!
