The Golden Hurricane men are ranked No. 14 in the nation and No. 2 in the Midwest Region, while the women's squad is ranked sixth in the Midwest Region, by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
The TU men's team is looking for a fifth-straight appearance in the NCAA Championships, and third straight automatic bid. The top two teams and top four individuals not on an advancing team from each region earn automatic bids to the NCAA Championships on Nov. 21 in Lawrence, Kan. Additional teams and individuals are chosen through an at-large selection process following the regional competition.
The Midwest Region consists of Division I schools located in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, across 13 conferences. A total of 35 women's teams and 33 men's teams will run in the meet on Friday.
Tulsa men's entrants include: senior Marc Scott, junior Luke Traynor, sophomores Ben Preisner, Adam Roderique, Elijah Silva and Kirk Smith, and freshmen Ellis Coon, Austin Del Rosso, Isaac Dobos, Mark Middleton and Jay Ort.
The women's entrants include: senior Rachel Baptista, juniors Clara Langley, Olivia Lopez and Stacie Taylor, sophomores Emma Galbraith, Nicole Lee and Danielle Medearis, and freshman Alyssa Bolliger.
Both TU teams won the American Athletic Conference Championships on Oct. 31, repeating as American Conference Champions. Scott won the individual title for the second straight year.
Last season at the Midwest Regional Championships, the Tulsa men placed second, while the women's team recorded a program-high fourth-place finish.
