Men’s and women’s squads to compete against Midwest’s top programs in Ames

AMES, Iowa– DePaul men's and women's cross country will continue postseason competition on Friday, Nov. 13, at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships at the Iowa State Cross Country Course.

The women's 6K race is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. CT, followed by the men's 10K at noon CT. Both races will be streamed live on FloTrack.

The Blue Demons enter regional competition following the BIG EAST Championships on Oct. 30, where the women's squad recorded a program-best fifth-place finish, while the men's team placed seventh.

DePaul's women's entries for Friday's regional championships are Isabella Orozco, Tessa Roe, Ava Helmbrecht, Cece Hilby, Sammi Rastrelli, Hayden McGuire, Macy Leahy and Juli Hoover.

Roe and Orozco enter the meet following standout performances at the conference championships, where they recorded the fourth- and fifth-fastest 6K times in program history, respectively. Roe crossed the line in 20:50.8, while Orozco followed in 20:55.1. Helmbrecht also moved into ninth on DePaul's all-time 6K list.

On the men's side, Mason Krieg, Alex Krieg, Kiefer Barnes, Bryce Counihan, Jackson Hopkins, Jack Broghammer, Daniel Grauer and Caden Wolfe are entered to represent the Blue Demons at the NCAA Midwest Regional meet.

Mason Krieg enters the regional meet following a personal-best performance at the BIG EAST Championships, moving to fifth on DePaul's all-time 8K list.

The NCAA Midwest Regional Championships serve as the qualifying meet for the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships, with the top two teams from each region earning automatic bids to the national meet. Additional teams and individuals will have opportunities to qualify through at-large and individual selections.
