CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.- Both the UIndy men's and women's cross country squads opened their 2011 season at the 49th annual Wabash Hokum Karem.
The Greyhound men took second of six teams, behind the host Little Giants. UIndy's women also took second, of five teams, finishing behind DePauw.
The race features two runners combining for a total of six miles in the men's race and four miles in the women's race. Each runner completes one mile, then hands the baton to their teammate, alternating miles to the completion of the race. The top-three pairs for each school earn points in the overall team scoring based upon their finishing place, with the lowest score claiming the team competition.
