The No.27/RV Florida State Cross Country teams will host the annual FSU XC Invitational on Friday at Apalachee Regional Park, which will serve as the Seminole’s Heritage event.
"We are beyond excited to be racing at home on our renowned cross country course,” said FSU women’s head coach Cody Halsey. “We love the opportunity for our wonderful and supportive community to be able to attend our meets. The ladies are excited and are feeling great. We are all looking forward to Friday.”
The men’s 8k will start at 7:40 a.m., followed by the women’s 5k at 8:20 a.m. Live timing will be
available.
Senior Jane Eiselstein won the women’s 6k at the Georgia Tech XC Invitational, leading the Noles to their second team victory of the season behind a tally of 34 points. The Chattanooga, Tenn., native crossed the finish line with a winning time of 21:48.2. Eiselstein captured the ACC Women’s Performer of the Week honors for her efforts.
“While our competition squad is small, I’m looking forward to seeing how these guys compete on the ARP tomorrow,” said assistant coach Ian Frazier. “Any opportunity we have to compete on our home course is something we value greatly, especially in a year where we are hosting such an important meet like the NCAA South Regional meet.”
The men’s team remained in the top 30 of the USTFCCCA nationals rankings for the second consecutive week at No.27, after Kaden Levings opened his collegiate career in the 8k securing his first career win with a time of 25:07.6. The Colorado Springs, Colorado native collected the ACC Men’s Performer of the week for his strong performance.
“All signs in training point to a successful day out here tomorrow, especially for our Seniors Patrick Donnelly, Wynne Thomas, and Lucas Bouquot, who get to experience our world-class home atmosphere in conjunction with our Heritage week,” added Frazier. “Special thanks to Visit Tallahassee for their work to make this course immaculate for the competition. Go Noles!”
