Cross Country

The men's and women's cross country teams will kick their seasons off relatively close to University Heights. A few miles east is Hunting Valley, Ohio, where the Case Reserve Bill Sudeck Invitational takes place.  Last year the women's team finished third out of eight teams, and the men's team finished fifth out of six teams. 

Race action gets underway at 11:00 am, and results will be posted on jcusports.com as soon as they are available.
