"I'm excited for the guys this weekend and the opportunity that USATF Cross Country Champ brings," said graduate assistant Jackson Wedge. "As someone who competed in this race last year, I know firsthand that it's a really great chance for the team to showcase the fitness they've built up throughout the winter. This year is a bit different for me, but I believe my familiarity with this race can better serve our guys competing this weekend."Â
