Louisville, Ky. – The University of Memphis cross country team travels to Louisville, Ky., on Saturday to compete at the Live in Lou Cross Country Classic at "Tom" Sawyer State Park.
The men's 8K "gold" race will begin at 8:30 a.m. with the women's 5K "gold" race to follow, scheduled for 9:15 a.m. The Tiger men come into the weekend ranked No. 14 in the NCAA South Region. You can follow the meet with live results and on our official Twitter page.
"It's one of the bigger meets in the nation this weekend and definitely in this region," cross country coach Ken Frenette said. "The field will be loaded with regionally-ranked and nationally-ranked teams as well as some top teams in DII. We're looking forward to building on what we did in Huntsville and we're excited to get out there and race."
At the 2023 Memphis Twilight and season opener on Sept. 2, Tiger standout Chloe Figgins led the way for the Memphis women, finishing third place in personal-best time (17:42.88) in a field of 181 runners. For the men, Vincent Chenier led the way with a 12th-place finish (20:19.59). The men's team finished fourth overall and the women turned in a fifth-place team finish.
Last time out at the Southern Showcase (Sept. 15), Figgins and Chenier again led the men's and women's squads, respectively. Figgins finished 24th (17:28.20, PR) in the women's race and Chenier crossed 26th (24:29.70) in the men's race in fields of 200 athletes. The women turned in a 12th-place team finish while the men finished 16th overall.
