INDIANAPOLIS – The Wright State men's and women's cross country teams got their first look at the competition and course for the 2021 Horizon League Championship on Friday night, with both squads finishing fifth as teams at the IUPUI Jaguar Invitational.

Abigail Halsey finished fifth overall in the women's 6K race with her time of 21:31.6 to pace the Raider women, while Alex McCarty's 25:50.2 led the Wright State men in the 8K race.

The Raiders will run for the final time in the month of September next Friday, September 17, at the All-Ohio Championships hosted by Cedarville.
