MEAC Top Times in 2019

Seven Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) cross country squads will be in action this weekend, another packed Friday and Saturday of action as teams close in on a month before the annual conference championship meet.
 
North Carolina A&T State’s Regan Kimtai was the only non-Michigan runner to finish in the top five at the Adidas XC Challenge this past weekend, turning in a 17:54.20 over the 6K course (conversion measurement estimates that time to be 24:17 at 8,000 meters – which would be a MEAC best in 2019).
 
Tatiana Ogundeko of Coppin State finished second at the Eastern Shore Invite with a personal best of 19:19, shaving nearly 20 seconds off her previous best. But Maryland Eastern Shore’s Aurelia Jepkorir won the Eastern Shore Invite with a time of 18:28.40 in the 5K.
 
Kimtai and Jepkorir were named MEAC Runners of the Week for their respective performances.
 
On Friday, Coppin State and Delaware State will run in the Delaware State Pre-Conference Run in Smyrna, Del. at the Delaware State Outreach & Research Center – the site of the 2019 MEAC Cross Country Championships.
 
Norfolk State will run in the Panorama Farms Invitational hosted by the University of Virginia in Earlysville, Va. – the Spartans’ second trip there this season. Bethune-Cookman will be at the UCF Knight Invitational in Orlando and South Carolina State will be running in the Queen City Invite in Charlotte, N.C.
 
North Carolina Central and North Carolina A&T State will be participating in the Greensboro Invitational on Saturday.
