KERNERSVILLE, N.C. - The Wake Forest men's and women's cross country teams will conclude the regular season by hosting the Wake Forest Invitational at the Ivey M. Redmon Sports Complex in Kernersville, N.C.
The men will run first in an 8K race at 4:30 p.m. and the women will follow on the 6K course at 5:15 p.m.
Joining the Deacs will be runners from Appalachian State, Charleston Southern, Coastal Carolina, Davidson, East Carolina, East Tennessee State, Elon, Furman, George Mason, High Point, North Carolina Central, North Carolina State, Radford, Richmond, Shaw, UNC Asheville, UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington, USC Upstate, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia Tech, Western Carolina, Wingate and Winston-Salem State.
The Demon Deacon men did not host a meet in 2014, but placed second to Florida State at the Wake Forest Invitational in 2013, paced by an eighth-place finish by Kent Garrett and a ninth-place finish by Alex Rose.
At that meet, the women received top-20 finishes by Kaitlyn Oliver and Kristin Weisse en route to a team finish of fourth.
The Deacs also hosted the 2013 ACC Championship meets in Kernersville.
Most recently, both Wake Forest cross country teams competed in the Royals Challenge in Charlotte, N.C.
The men took third place in the 39-team field, headed by Evan Little, who came in ninth. Simon Holden and Alex Giacco also finished inside the top-15. The women did not have a team score with only three student-athletes running, but Sarah Fahmy and Isabelle Harouche placed 17th and 19th, respectively, in the 324-runner field.
Following Friday's meet, both Wake Forest squads will take a week off from competition before making the trip to the ACC Championships in Tallahassee, Fla. on Oct. 30.
