Event Preview
 Hosted by the University of Virginia, USC Upstate men's and women's cross-country head to Charlottesville for the NCAA Southeast Regional on Friday. The Spartans have 14 different runners competing in both the men's and women's races.

After earning Big South All-Conference Second Team Honors at the Big South Championship, Jordan Thornton has led the women's team all season. Thornton has posted sub-20-minute times in every race, setting a PR at the Queen City Invite with a time of 18:07. Sophia Outhous finished second for the Spartans at the Big South Championship with her time of 19:46.

Sam Shimanskiy has been one of the top runners all season long for the men. Shimanskiy earned Big South Second Team All-Conference honors with his time of 25:28 at the Big South Championship. Earlier this season, Shimanskiy put up a time of 25:03 in the SWAGS Louisville Cross Country Classic. His time was not only a PR, but also a time that ranks him second all-time in school history. Ian Kelbert has been another top runner for the men's team this season.
