THE FLATS –Georgia Tech men’s and women’s cross country teams head to their third meet of the season on Friday, as they travel to University Park, Pa. for the Penn State National Open.
The meet begins with the women’s 6000m at 10:45 a.m., followed by the men’s 5.2-mile race at 11:30 a.m. The Jackets will be one of 17 schools competing, including two (No. 23 Penn and No. 30 Penn State) ranked in the top 30 nationally on the women’s side.
The Tech women come in ranked No. 4 in the most recent south region poll released by the USTFCCCA. They’ll be led by Nicole Fegans, who was the top finisher for the women at each of the Jackets’ first two meets, finishing second overall at the Bulldog Invite and fifth overall at the Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown.
The men, also ranked No. 4 in the south region, will be led by Avery Bartlett, who has been the Jackets’ top finisher for the men at each of the first two meets, and placed first overall overall at the Bulldog Invite.
