Wright State will race against over 140 schools nationwide on Saturday, including four Horizon League programs in Detroit Mercy, Northern Kentucky, Purdue Fort Wayne, and Robert Morris.Â

Max Pettit led Wright State with a 15th-place showing at 24:52.6, good for a personal-record time and the third-fastest mark in school history.
