MADISON, Wis. – Ole Miss men's and women's cross country finished with a pair of strong individual performances to conclude the regular season Saturday morning at Wisconsin's Pre-National Invitational.
The Ole Miss men finished in 25th place in the "A" 8K race with 613 points, finishing 18 points behind No. 13 Washington (24th, 595) and earning ranked wins over No. 29 Texas (27th, 688), No. 27 Florida State (31st, 763) and No. 28 Air Force (32nd, 765). Meanwhile, the Rebel women finished 33rd in the "A" 6K and were led by a solid individual performance from Loral Winn. Combined across both races, Ole Miss ran among 39 nationally ranked teams – 19 in the men's race, 20 in the women's.
The men's race was led by All-SEC junior Toby Gillen, who finished in 35th place at 23:23.4 in the 8K. Gillen has now been the top finisher for the Rebel men in both of his outings this season, joining a sixth-place finish at Missouri's Gans Creek Classic last month.
