The men's team is coming off strong showing at last weekend's Bradley Pink Classic in Peoria, IL, with Wright State finishing ahead of the other three Horizon League teams in the field (Milwaukee, Purdue Fort Wayne and Green Bay) along with besting future HL foe Northern Illinois and regional foe Xavier. The Raiders were paced by Patrick Statzer's 40th-place finish with a 24:52.89 mark, followed moments behind by Blake Rodgers at 24:55.43 in 41st. 
 
Also last week, Wright State contingents on the men's and women's sides both turned in seventh-place finishes at the Falcon Invitational. Nine Raider men ran in the Bowling Green-hosted Falcon Invitational 8K, led by Emmitt Slabach's 23rd-place finish and 26:03.1 time, followed closely by Tyler Mimnaugh in 33rd with his 26:19.9 mark. A total of 16 Wright State women competed in the 6k race, led by Shelby Hept's 39th-place finish with her 23:06.1 mark, followed moments later with Samantha Seas' 23:09.4 time in 41st.
