The Wright State men's and women's cross country teams closed out their season in Wisconsin on Friday at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional.

In the women's 6k race, which featured 215 runners from 31 schools, the Raiders placed 21^st overall as a team and had a pair of runners in the top 100. Shelby Nolan closed out her career with a 21:18.5 time and finished 41^st, a 25-spot improvement over her NCAA Regional finish a season ago. Junior Abigail Halsey turned in a time of 22:08.1 and finished 85^th overall.

In a field of 29 schools and 201 runners, the men placed 24^th overall and had one top-40 runner at the 10k distance – senior Nathan Dunn, who clocked a time of 31:16.4 in his final collegiate race.

Nolan set the pace for the Raiders all season long, leading the Wright State women in each of the six team races while recording five top-five finishes, including a first-place finish and two second place finishes. Nolan reset the Wright State standard in the women's 6K twice this season, most recently at the Horizon League Championship with a time of 21:16 as she finished second overall. She also broke the new school record in the 5K distance (17:43) to begin the year – a mark that had stood for 18 years.

Dunn closed out his career by leading the charge for the Raider men in each of the six races, finishing second at the Horizon League Championship and recording four top-five finishes this fall. He reset the Wright State standard in the men's 8K twice this season, most recently at the Horizon League Championship with his time of 24:07.
