The Jackets have strung together another impressive season in cross country. Tech has secured three individual race victories, two from senior Taylor Wade and one from junior Claire Shelton, and two team victories from the home sweep at the Georgia Tech XC Invitational.
Wade has led the men’s team in all five races this season, setting a blistering 23:19.2 8k time at the home invite to set one of the top times in the conference. He aims to become the first male Tech All-Region honoree since his brother, Devin Wade, finished 21st in 2024.
Shelton currently ranks among the top-50 in the south region; she hopes to break her incredible 20:20.2 time set in the 2025 NCAA South Region 6k race. She would be the first All-Region honoree on the women’s team since Kate Jortberg claimed 13th overall in 2024.
Both squads secured ninth-place team finishes in the 2025 edition of the championships.
