SEATTLE – The deepest and toughest conference in collegiate cross country will crown its champions for another year this Friday. Washington brings a pair of Top-10 teams into the 2019 Pac-12 Championships and will look to make continued progress in this first of three championship races.
This Friday the third-ranked Husky women's team and seventh-ranked Husky men's team will toe the line at Ash Creek Preserve in Monmouth, Ore., a first-time site for the Pac-12 meet as Oregon State's home course in Corvallis suffered flooding.
The Pac-12 Networks will televise the Championships live on Friday. The men's 8,000-meters will be first to go with a start time of 11:10 a.m. and the women's 6,000-meter race will be at 12:10 p.m.
Stanford goes into the meet as the favorite on the women's side, coming in ranked second, one spot ahead of the Huskies. Colorado at No. 5 makes for a third Pac-12 team in the top-five nationally, with Utah ranked 16th and defending champion Oregon coming in at No. 20. The host Oregon State women are also receiving votes.
The men's outlook has the Cardinal and Buffaloes tied for third in the national rankings as Stanford looks to defend its title with the Huskies next at No. 7, then UCLA at No. 10 and Oregon at No. 16.
Eleven women and ten men made the trip for Washington. The men's group features Julius Diehr, Isaac Green, Talon Hull, Andrew Jordan, Isaac Mohn, Gavin Parpart, Tibebu Proctor, Jack Rowe, Alex Slenning, and Sam Tanner.
Women ready to race are Lilli Burdon, Camila David-Smith, Madison Heisterman, Haley Herberg, Kiera Marshall, Shona McCulloch, Kaitlyn Neal, Katie Rainsberger, Allie Schadler, Mel Smart, and Hannah Waskom.
Last season the Husky men's squad took second at Pac-12s, its best finish since 1994, and Talon Hull finished runner-up in a thrilling finish for the best individual finish ever by a Husky male. Washington's success came from pack running, as it had eight runners in the top-27, four of which return this year. Along with Hull, Proctor was 14th last year, Parpart was 22nd, and Diehr placed 26th.
The women were fourth a year ago led by Rainsberger's 11th-place finish and Schadler coming in 23rd. Burdon was 31st last year but has been a top-10 finisher in her career, and McCulloch was 40th a year ago as a redshirt freshman.
The women are coming off a big win at the Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute two weeks ago. Rainsberger led the way from the get-go, and finished sixth, but the difference was made by the two-through-five runners who steadily moved up throughout the race. McCulloch, Burdon, and Schadler ran together for the majority of the race with McCulloch coming on strong to take 12th, then Burdon in 21st-place with Schadler alongside in 22nd. David-Smith helped seal the win by moving up and finishing in 28th as the No. 5 scorer. Freshman Mel Smart, who led the Huskies at their first two races but did not compete at Pre-Nationals, gets back to racing this Friday.
The men had a solid fourth-place finish at Pre-Nationals led by a great run from senior transfer Andrew Jordan who took seventh. Hull and Proctor were next for the Dawgs at 23rd and 31st, respectively. Washington will look to reduce its gap between one and five this week as it stood at 55 seconds at Pre-Nationals.
The Pac-12 Championships are the first of three championship races for the Huskies, with West Regionals following on Nov. 15 and then NCAA Cross Country on Nov. 23.
