NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Men's Cross Country returns to action Friday morning for the Missouri Valley Conference Championships held at A.H. Blank Golf Course in Des Moines, Iowa.
In the MVC's Pre-Championship Poll, Belmont is predicted to place 4th, giving the team a fighting chance at a top-3 spot.
The men's team has had a successful season, finishing no lower than 11th in any meet. They placed 9th at the Southern Showcase, achieved 11th at the highly competitive Joe Piane Invite at Notre Dame, and finished 5th at the University of Alabama's Crimson Classic.
The Bruins show depth across the roster this season, but key runners to watch include senior Drew Brill and sophomore Charley Townsend. Townsend has scored for Belmont in each of the team's four regular season meets, including leading the Bruins at the Vanderbilt Opener, Southern Showcase, and Joe Piane Invite. Veteran Brill has also scored in four meets, taking Belmont's second-place spot at Huntsville and Tuscaloosa.
