Ole Miss cross country teams set for NCAA South Regional

Ole Miss’ men’s and women’s cross country teams are scheduled to compete Friday, Nov. 13, at the NCAA South Regional Championships at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida. The meet will be broadcast on ESPN+.

The women’s 6K is scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m. CT. The schedule lists the men’s race as a 10K at 8:30 a.m. CT, while the men’s roster heading identifies it as an 8K and gives the same start time.

The Rebels enter the regional after the SEC Championships on Oct. 30, where the men placed sixth and the women finished 14th.

The top two men’s and women’s teams at each regional automatically qualify for the NCAA National Championship meet. Fourteen additional teams will be selected at-large for a 32-team field. The first four individual finishers not from an automatic-qualifying or at-large team also earn automatic bids.

Ole Miss’ women’s roster lists Maddie Archdale, Jillian Candelino, Hannah Doyle, Alicia Finnis, Adie Luna, Zoe Marsh, Leah Penick and Brooke Preputnick. The men’s roster lists Sergio Del Barrio, Samuel Ferguson, Zack Gilbertson, Ky Hehir, Aidan Hodge, Owen Kelley, Kidus Misgina and John Shoemaker.
