TicketsCINCINNATI— Graduate student Tyler Wirth will head to Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday to compete in the 2023 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Wirth achieved the feat after earning All-Region honors at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional as he placed 14th overall, securing his individual bid for his first appearance at the championship. He was one of four individual qualifier from the Great Lakes Region to advance to the championships.
The 2023 championships will be hosted by Virginia at the Panorama Farms Cross Country Course. The men's 10k race will begin at 11:10 am. Meet information, including how to purchase tickets, can be found here.
Fans not in attendance can catch all the action live on ESPNU and the ESPN App beginning at 9:30 a.m. ET. Fans can also follow along via live stats found here.
The Hawley, Pa., native is the sixth Bearcat in program history to advance to the men's NCAA Cross Country Championship and the first since Alec Sandusky did in 2021.
Heading into this weekend's meet, Wirth had placed as the Bearcats' top finisher in four of the five meets this season, including beginning the season with his first-ever colligate cross country meet victory as he won the men's 8k at the RedHawk Rumble.
Last time out, Wirth earned his first career All-Region honors as he placed 14th overall with a 10k personal best time of 30:04.3. His time was the second fastest NCAA Championship qualifying mark in school history.
