The Southern Miss cross country squad will be running a 6k on Friday morning at UAB.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. – The ladies of Southern Miss cross country travel to Montevallo, Ala. to race in the 6k at the UAB Blazer Classic on Friday morning at 9 a.m.

Racing for Southern Miss will be freshmen Carlin Beal and Katelyn Cartwright, sophomore Lina May, junior Kate Mattox, redshirt junior Emma Kate Holdbrooks and seniors Monika Gebarzewska, Theresa Harto, Regen McGee, Sarah McMillon, Savannah McMillon, and Sandra Szpott.

The Golden Eagles will face Alabama, Belmont, Birmingham-Southern, Charlotte, Florida A&M, Florida Atlantic, Florida State, Fort Valley State, Huntingdon, Jefferson State CC, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, Marion Military Institute, Memphis, Mercer, Mississippi State, Mississippi University for Women, Mississippi Valley, Montevallo, Nicholls, North Alabama, Northern Colorado, Point University, Samford, South Alabama, Spartanburg Methodist, Troy, Tuskegee, and UAB. Southern Miss has already faced many of these teams before earlier this season, and this will be the second race where they have gone against three other C-USA opponents.

This will be the second collegiate race for Beal and Cartwright, having only raced in the City Auto Memphis Twilight Classic in late August. So far this season, the ladies as a whole have ran in one other 6k at the Commodore Classic held by Vanderbilt.

Last season, the Golden Eagles were scheduled to compete in the Florida State Invitational on Oct. 12, but because of Hurricane Michael, the meet was canceled. Instead, the team headed to Alabama to compete in the Blazer Classic, which was scheduled for the same day. Southern Miss came away from the meet placing third with 88 points. Szpott finished in 12^th with Kate Mattox and Monika Gebarzewska finishing in 17^th and 18^th, respectively. McGee finished in 20^th and Lina May rounded out the top-25. Theresa Harto finished in 42^nd.

A recap will be posted to SouthernMiss.com after the conclusion of the race when results have been finalized. Live results can be found here, with Xpress Timing providing real-time results for the meet.
