Clemson Heads to Indiana for Pre-Nationals

CLEMSON, S.C. — After a week off from competition, the men’s and women’s cross country teams return to action Saturday at the adidas Pre-Nationals, held at Indiana State University’s LaVern Gibson Course in Terre Haute, Ind. The Tigers are set for white division races, the women’s 6K first up at 12:15 p.m. ET and the men’s 8K to follow.

The women’s race features 29 teams, including eight teams ranked in the top 15 of the latest regional polls by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The Tigers are 13^th in the Southeast, according to the latest poll. Clemson’s lineup has been bolstered by the return of senior Grace Barnett, who has produced top-10 finishes each of the past two meets. Barnett was ACC Performer of the Week after the Panorama Farms Invitational.

The Tiger men are set to compete against 21 teams, including a pair of top-15 ranked regional foes in Cincinnati and Wake Forest. Clemson’s young lineup has been led by Micah Williams, who was 15^th in the gold division race at the Joe Piane Invitational in South Bend, Ind., last time out for the Tigers.
