STILLWATER, Okla. –
The University of Tulsa men's cross-country team took third and the women 11th at Friday's NCAA Midwest Regional Championship on the Greiner Family Cross Country Course Friday morning.
 
The American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year, Charlie Krasnoff led the Tulsa men with a 12th place finish. Krasnoff navigated the 10K course in 30:29.1. The top four Tulsa runners finished in the same order as the conference meet. Behind Krasnoff was Malte Propp in 16th. Chris McLeod took 20th and Johnny Livingstone placed 30th. Luke Birdseye rounded out the TU scoring as the freshman placed 53rd overall.
 
Tulsa finished in a tie with Loyola-Chicago with 131. The Hurricane edged out the Ramblers on a tiebreaker, with Tulsa winning spots two, three and four. No. 2 Oklahoma State played host for the race and avenged its loss to the Hurricane a year ago, scoring just 19 points and having five top-10 finishers. The 20th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones scored 56 to take second place.
 
"I'm genuinely really proud of the guys," Tulsa men's coach Taylor Gulley said. "It's been a challenging season to lose three All-Americans to graduation and a fourth to injury right before the season. To lose that much production and still win another The American title and finish third in the region behind two teams that I think will finish Top 10 and one who will potentially compete for a national title, I could not be prouder of the way this group has come together.
 
"The growth that this group has shown this fall shows a lot about this program. We understand the results are going to ebb and flow, but when our guys continue to race like they did today and they have all season, I am really confident we're going to get back to the heights we want to be at sooner rather than later."
 
In the women's race, freshman Alicen Ashley paced the Golden Hurricane with a 21:25.1 6K time to place 28th overall. It was her second fastest 6K of her season after finishing three seconds over the 21-minute mark at the Loyola Lakefront on Sept. 29.
 
Chloe Hershenow was the second Hurricane to finish, crossing the line in 41st. Robyn Kowalski, TU's top finisher in The American Championship, placed 48th. McKenna Terrell took 98th, while Katharina Pesendorfer rounded out the top five scorers with 103rd. Amy Morefield placed 133rd in Friday's race.
