Queens University XC Meet Fri 10-15

The Queens University Royals cross country teams will host what looks to be the schools' largest single-day athletic event when they stage the Royal Cross Country Challenge Friday afternoon. With almost 700 competitors and 35 teams competing, Queens will play host to almost all of Conference Carolina's and the Southeast Region's Division II programs in addition to notable Division I institutions such as Florida State, Georgia Tech, Elon and Davidson, UNC-Greensboro and UNC-Asheville.

The women's 5,000-meter Gold race starts at 3:30pm at McAlpine Creek Park while the men's Gold 8k starts at 4:15pm. Admission to this event, which also serves as the pre-conference and pre-region meet, is free.

Both Royals programs are currently ranked nationally with the men's team at #7 in the nation and the women at #22.
