Missouri Men’s Cross Country Team Challenges Alabama at Crimson Classic

by Men's Reporter Team

In a remarkable display of athleticism, the University of Missouri men’s cross country team narrowly missed upsetting the 12th-ranked University of Alabama at the Crimson Classic meet. Finishing just four points behind Alabama, this performance marks a significant improvement from their 194-point deficit in 2023.
Sophomore Drew Rogers led the Tigers with a personal best time of 23:26.6, securing a fifth-place finish. The team’s success was further bolstered by consistent top-25 finishes from all five scoring runners, highlighting Missouri’s depth and competitive edge.
Alabama, notably missing top runner Hillary Cheruiyot, faced challenges, with their fifth runner finishing 29th. The absence of Cheruiyot may have contributed to the team’s narrower margin of victory.
As the regular season concludes, Missouri’s performance at the Crimson Classic sets a promising precedent for the upcoming SEC Championship on November 1. The Tigers’ demonstrated improvement positions them as formidable contenders in the conference, signaling a potential shift in the competitive landscape of collegiate cross country.
