YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Michigan State men's and women's cross country teams finish up the regular season portion of their schedule on Friday, Oct. 22 with the Eastern Michigan Fall Classic at Hudson Mills Metropark in Dexter, Mich.
Â
The final meet for the Spartans before the Big Ten Championships on Oct. 29, the EMU Fall Classic will begin at 4 p.m. with the 5K men's race, while the women's 5K race follows at 4:30 p.m.
"We are looking for Friday's racers to be at their best by controlling their environment and engaging with the competition," said Director of Cross Country/Track & Field Lisa Breznau. "It is a great opportunity to race and see progress."
Â
The Green and White are coming off a strong showing at the Nuttycombe Invitational, as 17 different runners established personal records in the women's 6K or men's 8K races. Highlighting the performances on the women's side were seniors Jenna Magness and Lynsie Gram, as Magness used a PR of 20:05.6 to take fourth in the championship race, while Gram ran a PR of 20:29.2 that placed her 19th. Graduate student Morgan Beadlescomb also registered a PR on the men's side, finishing the championship men's race in 23:32.2 to grab eighth place.
Â
Two Spartans made their season debuts in Wisconsin, as junior Noelle Adriaens raced a 23:13.9 time in the women's championship race to place 258th, while junior James Uhlenberg finished 125th in the men's championship with a time of 24:41.0. Freshman Patrick Byrnes also made his collegiate debut, running unattached in the men's "B" race and finishing 29th at 25:19.4.
Â
Aside from 2020 when the event was cancelled, the Spartans have raced in the EMU Fall Classic every year since 2007.
Â
After the EMU Fall Classic, Michigan State will head to the Big Ten Championships on Friday, Oct. 29 on the campus of Penn State in University Park, Pa. The Spartan women are set to defend their 2020-21 Big Ten title, while the men will try to improve upon a fourth-place finish last season.
