Edison, NJ - MAAC Men's
and Women's Cross Country kicks back into gear as teams travel to Buffalo, N.Y., and Princess Anne,
Md., on Saturday for the NCAA Regional Championships.
The men's and women's races at both sites begin at noon and 1:15 p.m., respectively.
Rider University, Loyola University, and Saint Peter's College will be competing at the Mid-Atlantic Regional, while the rest of the conference races in the Northeast Regional.
Coming off their 21st consecutive conference title, the No. 10 Iona Men's Cross Country team fields yet another dominant squad looking to take claim of the Northeast Title and a chance at the NCAA Championships. Iona senior Leonard Korir, the reigning individual NCAA Regional Champion, will attempt to earn his second regional title in a row.
The Iona women's cross country team has also had a stellar season, winning their seventh consecutive conference championship. Junior Hollie Rowland spearheads the women's squad and is fresh off her record-breaking run at the MAAC Championships in Van Cortlandt Park and looks to be a favorite this weekend.
