STARTING LINES

• Three of the top five Midwest Region teams will be in attendance on the men's side (Iowa State-3, Drake -4, WSU-5), but Wichita State's top runners will not be in the mix, as they prepare for the Notre Dame Invitational on Sept. 29.

• The women will run another 5K race before bumping up to a 6K later in the season.
• Isabelle Hartnett is set to run her first race in uniform after finishing sixth at the JK Gold Classic as an unattached runner.

• A year ago, Jacob Meyers ran his first collegiate 8K unattached, placing 28th to earn a uniform spot for the remainder of the season.
