February 05, 2021 | Cross Country
TAMPA, FEB. 5, 2021 – The 2020 American Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships are set to take place on Feb. 6 at the 4 Mile Creek Resort in Augusta, Kansas. The women's championship 6K is scheduled for 11 a.m. (ET), with the men's championship 8K to follow at 11:50 a.m. (ET).
Live coverage of the meet will commence on ESPN+ at 10:50 a.m. (ET).
"It's championship weekend and we are excited to compete," USF head coach Erik Jenkins said. "Although we are not competing in the traditional NCAA cross country season, the AAC Cross Country Championship has presented a unique opportunity that we have all embraced. Coach Griffiths has done a good job of managing the distance runners and they have worked diligently to get to this point."
USF earned a team win in the men's 8K and finished as the runner-up in the women's 5K at the UCF Cross Country Invite on Jan. 23. Nicholas Kamen (25:02.10) and Benjamin Kailes (25:17.30) led the USF men as the top two runners to cross the finish line, and Kaleigh Bliss (18:47.00) powered the women in fifth place.
