MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Ole Miss men's and women's cross country opens its 2021 slate with a short trip up to the Memphis Twilight on Saturday night, hosted by Christian Brothers University at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex.
The Rebels will send two small delegations to Memphis to inaugurate the 2021 campaign, with the Ole Miss women represented by Makayla Fick, Brooke Gilmore, Hannah Ielfield, Morgan Claire Rose and Cate Tracht, while the Rebel men will feature Dereck Elkins, Jack Filan, Baylor Franklin, Dalton Hengst, Jacob Lough, Miles Phillips and Chase Rose.
Both Ole Miss squads open the year ranked in the USTFCCCA Preseason Rankings, with the Rebel women tying a preseason program record with their No. 15 slot and the men coming in at No. 18. The Ole Miss men were selected to finish runner-up in the SEC Preseason Coaches Poll, while the women were picked third.
In addition to both teams starting the year nationally ranked, both Rebel units are coming off historically successful 2020 seasons amid a hectic schedule disrupted by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Both squads finished 12th at the NCAA Championships, which ranked as the best in Ole Miss women's history and the second-best finish ever by the Rebel men. Additionally, the Rebel men pulled off the first 1-2-3 SEC podium sweep in school history – led by 2021 returnees Mario Garcia Romo and Cole Bullock, who will be in action later this fall.
Competition will begin at 9:20 p.m. CT on Saturday night with the women's college 5K race, followed by the men's college 4-mile race at 10 p.m. CT. More information regarding the competition can be found HERE.
