TULSA, Okla. — The University of Tulsa men's cross country team will compete at the NCAA Championships at 11:45 a.m. on Saturday at the Zimmerman Championship Course in Madison, Wis.
The Golden Hurricane is part of the championship field for the ninth time in school history, with all nine coming in the last 12 years (2007, '08, '11, '12, '13, '14, '15, '16, '18).
At last Friday's NCAA Midwest Regional, the Hurricane missed out on an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships by finishing in third place at just five points behind Bradley. Peter Lynch and Beattie both took home all-region honors with top 25 marks. TU was awarded an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships last Saturday.
Tulsa has won three of its five races this season, including its fifth consecutive American Athletic Conference title. That victory helped the Hurricane claim its ninth straight conference title overall, dating back to time in Conference USA.
The Golden Hurricane opened the season with back-to-back wins at the Hurricane Invitational and the Missouri Southern Stampede. The squad was dominant at The American Championships as six runners earned all-conference honors by placing in the top 15. Scott Beattie led the way by placing second, while Isaac Akers was the league's Freshman of the Year with an eighth-place finish.
TU got an early look at the Zimmerman Championship course in late September as the squad ran in the annual Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational. Running against 18 other ranked teams, the Hurricane finished 21st in the event, led by Peter Lynch's 69th place finish.
