CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati's men's and women's cross country teams return to competition this Friday at the All-Ohio Invitational hosted by Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. Both the men's and women's teams have won three straight races, which includes the Queen City Invitational, the Mel Brodt Invitational, and the Ohio Invitational.
The men's team is slated to begin their 8,000-meter race at 2 p.m. and the women are set to run their 5,000-meter race at 2:45 p.m. The Ohio Wesleyan course winds through the Methodist Theological School and the Delaware Golf Club and the course has been the site of the NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships in 1984 and 2005.
The men's team has previously won the All-Ohio Invitational in 1995 and 2001. In 2000 and 2001 Chris Reis was the individual champion. The women's team has never won the event, but they have had some individual success as Ruth Limo took home first-place honors in 2004.
Parking for the event is available on the campus of the Methodist Theological School for $5 per car.
