McKendree hosts GLVC Cross Country Championships

The RU cross country teams run in Elsah, Illinois on Saturday.

The Rockhurst men's and women's cross country teams will be competing in the 2022 Great Lakes Valley Conference Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships on Saturday at the Principia University Cross Country Course in Elsah, Illinois, with McKendree University serving as host.

For the ninth-straight season, the GLVC Cross Country Championships is scheduled to be streamed on the GLVC Sports Network (GLVCSN), while this will be the third-straight event that will be live streamed rather than tape-delayed.

The 2022 postseason race will open with the 44th annual men's 8,000-meter run at 10:30 a.m., followed by the 39th annual women's 6,000-meter run at 11:30 a.m.

The top-placing men's and women's teams will be named the 2022 GLVC Champion, respectively. In addition, the top-20 individual finishers on the men's side will be named All-GLVC, and the medalist of each race will be named the GLVC Runner of the Year. The top-finishing freshman will garner GLVC Freshman of the Year honors.
Last year, the Southern Indiana women's program extended its league record with its 14th title in the final year of league membership. The Screaming Eagles ran away with the 2021 title by besting host Lewis by 36 points in Romeoville, Illinois.

On the men's side, Lewis repeated as GLVC Champions last year on its home course in Romeoville, Illinois, to claim its 15th overall GLVC Championship.
