Raiders set for NCAA Regional Friday

The Wright State men's and women's cross country teams are set to run in the 2019 NCAA Great Lakes Regional, which will take place on Friday, Nov. 15 at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course in Madison, Wisconsin.

The race, hosted by Wisconsin, will have the women running a 6k distance and the men running a 10k distance. Women are scheduled to run at 12:30 p.m. ET and men are scheduled to run at 1:30 p.m. ET.
